The Paradox of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" | Psychology Today
..."Krauthammer, himself a harsh critic of Trump, later defined Trump derangement syndrome as a Trump-induced “general hysteria” that produced an “inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology” in the president’s behavior."...
"Early in 2018, I published a post, “Why the Left’s Obsession With Donald Trump Will Backfire,” for Psychology Today with the explicit intent of demonstrating how the wisdom of the world-renowned psychiatrist and existential philosopher Viktor E. Frankl could be applied to a very timely and polarizing topic—the presidency of Donald Trump. As expected, at the time, my post generated considerable interest among readers of all political persuasions and affiliations.
"Fast forward to today, and the obsession with Donald Trump appears to have no signs of receding. This particular fixation has even been given its own label, known somewhat facetiously as “Trump derangement syndrome” or TDS.
What Is TDS?
"Simply put, Trump derangement syndrome is a derogatory term used to describe a form of toxic criticism and negative reaction to former President Trump’s statements and political actions. The origin of the term can be traced to the late political columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist, who first coined the phrase “Bush derangement syndrome” in 2003." . . .
Trump-Vance people, let us never do this! Let the Democrats have this image! TD
"Crazy lady triggered by the mere sight of the word Trump attacks and destroys a pro Trump campaign sign!
