President Derangement Syndrome

A form of mud-slinging used by supporters of a president that aims to mock their opposition. "President Derangement Syndrome" is the argument that the very existence of said president makes their opposition irrationally angry and unable to think of a legitimate reason for their contempt of said president.

When used in a sentence, the word "President" is replaced with the actual president's surname; for example, if this argument were to be used against those who were opposed to Barack Obama, it would be called "Obama Derangement Syndrome."
President Derangement Syndrome is commonly attributed to Donald Trump, leading to an erroneous belief that it started with his presidency; in fact, it started with George W. Bush -- "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Ironically, Bush wound up being quite possibly the most universally hated president in history, and his vice president became not only the most unpopular vice president of all time, but also one of the most unpopular U.S politicians EVER.

The phrase experienced a resurgence under Donald Trump due to him being the most utterly polarizing person in America, as well as the infamous meme "Luke Crywalker" where a woman screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as she hears the news of his inauguration. It proved to be such a commonly used argument by his supporters that it completely overshadowed its predecessor, especially because Trump isn't as universally hated as Bush, so it still holds up.

Here are da two “classic” ways dat ya would smilingly employ da “pince-nez president poser” to hopefully lessen da distress dat your listener would likely feel to be asked said question:
To ask da person for his assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow be reasonably able to ___ for me sometime in da next few days?”
Or to offer da person your own assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow like me to ___ for you occasionally, if it’s reasonably convenient for both of us?”
