A group of five Republican state senators from Minnesota is set to introduce a controversial bill, labeled SF 2589, that would classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness.
The proposal, scheduled for review by the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, argues that the condition is characterized by an “acute onset of paranoia” triggered by the presidencies of Donald Trump.
According to the bill’s text, TDS symptoms include “Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump’s behavior.” The legislators further suggest that these symptoms may manifest as intense verbal hostility and even “overt acts of aggression and violence” towards Trump and his supporters.
The co-sponsoring senators—Glenn Gruenhagen, Justin Eichorn, Nathan Wesenberg, Steve Drazkowski, and Eric Lucero—believe that incorporating TDS into the legal definition of mental illness will help address what they see as a growing political and social crisis. They argue that the term should be integrated into state statutes on mental health to better identify and manage what they describe as an epidemic of politically induced paranoia.
This move comes amid heightened partisan tensions, as the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has long been used by Trump and his allies to dismiss criticism and dissent. During his presidential campaigns, Trump’s top communication advisers frequently accused his detractors of suffering from TDS, a claim that has since permeated political discourse on both sides.
