I've discovered what it means. It was actually the first thing I thought of when I read the phrase. But I thought....nah, they'd have to have the self awareness of a dried grapefruit not to realise that. But......yeah
Trump derangement syndrome - a syndrome that trump supporters have, caused by listening to or believing trump. Or Trumps deranged supporters. Or Trumps deluded supporters. There may be a cure......with Donny's current mental state, the cure might happen.
Fareed Zakaria defined the syndrome as "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people's judgment".[5][15] CNN's editor-at-large Chris Cillizza called TDS "the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose him and his policies as nothing more than the blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and free speech".[1] Pointing to previous allegations of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome, Cillizza suggested: "Viewed more broadly, the rise of presidential derangement syndromes is a function of increased polarization—not to mention our national self-sorting—at work in the country today."[1] Bret Stephens has described the term as something used by conservative groups whenever someone speaks out critically against Trump, regardless of political affiliation
To be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed over a million Americans, separated children from their families, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims from entering the country, got impeached, got impeached again, had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history, pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden, fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia, bragged about firing the FBI director on TV, took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community, diverted military funding to build his wall, caused the longest government shutdown in US history, called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,” lied nearly 30,000 times, banned transgender people from serving in the military, ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions, vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers, refused to release his tax returns, increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion, had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history, called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers, coddled the leader of Saudi Arabia after he ordered the execution and dismembering of a US-based journalist, refused to concede the 2020 election, hired his unqualified daughter and son-in-law to work in the White House, walked out of an interview with Lesley Stahl, called neo-Nazis “very fine people,” suggested that people should inject bleach into their bodies to fight COVID, abandoned our allies the Kurds to Turkey, pushed through massive tax cuts for the wealthiest but balked at helping working Americans, incited anti-lockdown protestors in several states at the he
I just find it fascinating how one man of all people in Donald Trump can get this many people worked up over a whole lot of nothing. Why just yesterday, I posted video from 2011 of the Cast of the VIEW having Trump on their show and he was applauded like BIG TIME when he came on and gave each host a kiss on the cheek and everyone was all Rosy and happy as fuck about it, but now in 2024, they act like this never happened, just like they act like Kamala Harris was never appointed "Border Czar" even after I watched the fucking press conference Biden held specifically designed for it!! I don't understand why it's a big deal if Harris was Border Czar and why the liberals on this site keep denying it?? Now THAT is disturbing
It's what the rest of the world thinks it stands for, 3 seconds after reading what it stands for. defined as "the delusion and derangement that supporters of Trump experience, because they believe what he says". Actually. I couldn't give a fuck what the lgbtarplzzsputnickbfg crowd think of it. The lgbtglbbwq crowd are too busy.....doing whatever the fuck lgbtglbbwq people do. painting fucking rainbows on lamp posts, as far as I can tell.
(to follow this up) To be honest, I don't like reaction posts, because you never know what you're reacting/responding to. and (no offence, this isn't to you) but you (I) could be responding to a post which contains complete codshite. I prefer initial posts, because you can state the starting point, and that starting point isn't replying to someone else who's said "grass is blue you twat and any idiot knows that birds can fly underwater"
For instance.
"any fucknose knows that television sales in 1973 were affected by global warming, and the president of Nigeria did more for artificial snow than any mongoose that knew how to gargle the national anthem, you democrat dick". there isn't a lot of responding to that, without thinking 'you twat'. And that's sort of rude.
There is.....there is.....have you seen Donnie's current mental state? He might forget to brush his teeth, one of them might fall out, he'll trip up on it and bash his head on the side of a cushion. That would do it. All trumpers TDS would be cured.
edit for the below - Trump never actually says anything. That's whats......curious. There's a mic in front of him. Someone records it. But he doesn't actually say anything.
My point is, is that everyone else, in the world, knows what it stands for. So why do trumpers say it, like it's something that applies to "the left"? Everyone in the world is baffled that this is being used as an "insult", when they already know what it stands for. I might add this into the original text. I might not. Who knows.
Even if thats accurate (its not because we are all aware back in 2016 what TDS actaully meant when it became a thing) its still a small subset of people who live and breath on what Trump says. On the other hand, you have most of the LEFT suffering from the other meaning of TDS. Vast difference.
