Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) diagnosable condition in which one acts irrationally towards 45th and 47th President Donald J Trump. TDS applies both ways. On one end of the spectrum, Trump Derangement Syndrome causes one to hate Donald J Trump to the point of fabricating or heavily misconstruing information to defame his character. However, Trump Derangement Syndrome applies to the other end of the political spectrum, as well. Sufferers of Type 2 TDS will often act sycophantic towards Donald J Trump, and defend him vehemently in online forums, or consistently insult those who do not share the same god-like view of Donald J Trump.
Left-leaning TDS patient: “Trump is a pedophile!”
Right-leaning TDS patient: “Trump is literally Jesus and will save us!”
Psychiatrist: “You both have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

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)

A diagnosable medical condition in which the afflicted blindly follows Donald Trump, a.k.a. "The Chosen One." The afflicted is incapable of free thought, unable to critically evaluate the actions or any criticism of "Dear Leader," or otherwise accurately perceive the world around them. The mindless adoration of President Trump is so intense as to impairs the person’s judgment. Additional symptoms include blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and deference to verifiable facts, as opposed to whatever "Dear Leader" or His surrogates tell them to believe.
Many people in conservative echo chambers have an incorrect impression of Trump Derangement Syndrome, while suffering from it themselves.
The first sign that they are infected is that they send out a pheromone, like killer bees. Soon the educational post is peppered with tens of thousands of dislikes generated by a couple hundred MAGA'ists refreshing their VPNs assuming that no one can tell or pr. The more dislikes these posts have, the truer they are.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME : An observed state of mass-psychosis marked by the misguided belief that Donald Trump, despite documented failures, is a competent leader and successful businessman.
Supporters in this view often worship Trump as a godly figure, ignoring the absence of any known religion, his lack of moral compass, and a lifelong, public display of the seven deadly sins.
Additionally, trust is placed in Trump, despite overwhelming evidence of falsehoods, liability for sexual assault, findings of career fraud, theft of classified documents, 91 felony indictments, and the incitement of a mob at the US Capitol as part of attempted violent coup in the 2020 US Presidential election.
Additionally, this delusion ignores other dangerous and disturbing aspects of his character, including, but not limited to: erratic behavior, dictatorial rhetoric, possible amphetamine abuse, conspiratorial thinking, apparent narcissistic-personality-disorder, lack of empathy, racist dog-whistles, sociopathy, and striking similarities to the biblical description of the Antichrist.

"I was trying to convince my uncle that Trump is potentially the most dangerous man in the world right now, but no matter how many facts I presented, he wouldn't believe them. It was like talking to a brick-wall. A brain-washed brick wall. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. "

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.
