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)
