Trump Derangement Syndrome

A severe personality disorder that Trump supporters suffer from, which disables their critical-thinking abilities, dulls the anterior insular cortex (the brain's empathy and self-awareness center) and leads to an uncomfortable state of chronic cognitive dissonance. Once an individual fuses their personal identity with former reality TV figure Donald Trump they develop an inexplicable compulsion to defend him with religious fervor, even when his actions go against their previous values.
Rather than admit they were misguided and gullible to be so regularly conned by him, the disorder causes the individual to double down rather than to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
“My aunt has terrible Trump Derangement Syndrome. She said she was voting for Trump because he was the “anti-war” president who was going to release the Epstein Files. Now that Trump said he doesn’t care about the files, she has convinced herself he’s just using reverse psychology to get the liberals riled up enough to also demand their release. She won’t just admit she was conned into voting for him.”

This is the actual comprehensive definition of TDS / Trump Derangement Syndrome.
(All the other definitions appear to be people just throwing mud at each other.)

TDS is a blend of psychological phenomena related to bias, prejudice, and cognitive distortion. It was coined Trump Derangement Syndrome due to the extreme hatred of Donald Trump by the managerial class/establishment and the NPCs and/or low information voters that follow their command.

TL:DR
In simple terms, this phenomenon occurs when someone is so biased that they interpret everything from a person or thing they dislike in the most negative way possible. For instance, if you wave hello and say good morning, they might think your friendly gestures are actually hidden insults or ominous threats. It's a form of "persecutory paranoia" and/or "hostile attribution bias".

Projection issues for those suffering from TDS:
People with TDS often see any neutral or positive stance as covert support for the person they hate, assuming that those who don't share their negative view are hidden supporters. This reinforces their paranoia and resistance to differing viewpoints.

These factors create a syndrome where hatred or bias blinds people to objective information and critical thinking, leading them to embrace propaganda, avoid independent analysis, and cling to their negative views.
Examples of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome:

Simple Example: Sarah, who dislikes John, interprets his friendly “Good morning” and smile as a disguised insult. She believes he’s mocking her, even though his intentions are completely harmless.

Real Life Example: Destiny (YouTube) is a prime example of someone exhibiting extreme TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). (Also see: The Rationalization Hamster)

TRUMP ALTERNATE REALITY SYNDROME (TARS)

The condition wherein Donald Trump's (deplorable) base ignores his countless lies, and ignores his countless misstatements of facts. These loyal followers, suffering from T.A.R.S., choose to give their leader/ paper tiger, a PASS on all the diarrhea that spews forth from his mouth. These sufferers live in a dimension where facts don't matter. "Alternative Facts" are an acceptable substitute.

TURDS, Trump Unrequited Relationship Derangement Syndrome

TURDS—Trump Unrequited Relationship Derangement Syndrome—isn’t just a joke; it’s a mirror held up to the bizarre, one-sided obsession some fans have with Donald Trump.
Including the tagline "he ain’t ever gonna love you back, boo" like in the example, combines political rhetoric with pop culture, referencing the iconic line from Beyoncé's "Single Ladies". This phrase emphasizes the unrequited nature of such devotion, suggesting that while supporters may idolize Trump, his feelings aren't reciprocated.
The derangement angle is where the TURDS start to hit the fan. Imagine being so fixated on someone that you lose sight of reality—whether it’s scrolling endless Twitter threads, crying over canceled rallies, or muttering his name under your breath like a lovesick teenager. It’s not just devotion; it’s obsession, and Trump’s narcissistic nature only fuels the fire. He’s the sun in this messed-up solar system, burning dimly orange but never actually seeing you orbiting around him.
And let’s face it: he ain’t ever gonna love you back, boo. Not really. Not in that way. But hey, at least you’ve got the satisfaction of knowing, with plenty of other TURDS out there, you’re not the only one obsessed.
Me: "TDS? Trump certainly has some sort of derangement syndrome, but you seem to have a bad case of the TURDS: He ain’t ever gonna love you back, boo."

Them: "What's TURDS?"
