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.

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. "
