Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.

    In first reading the title I was wondering if the bill was talking about people blindly following Trump.

        Not just locked away, they want to torture them in mental institutions and fry their brains with psychiatric meds. Just like in Morther Russia.

        Don’t assume this is a joke.

        They are constantly probing, and will keep trying to expand their power until they are stopped.
