Trump Cowardice Syndrome (TCS)

A political condition, also called TCS, in which devotion to Donald Trump mutates from ordinary partisanship into cringing obedience, marked by public groveling, private panic, and Olympic-level rationalization.

Symptoms include:
--Defending things you swore were disqualifying five minutes ago.
--Smiling politely while being insulted, mocked, or thrown under the bus.
--Repeating talking points that visibly pain you to say out loud.
--Sudden loss of spine whenever Trump posts in ALL CAPS.
--Calling it “strategy” when it is clearly fear.
--Nodding along while being humiliated, then insisting it was actually a 4D chess move.
“Elise Stefanik burned down her House career chasing Trump’s approval, only to get snubbed for UN Ambassador, shoved out of Congress, and quietly iced out of the New York governor’s race. Trump Cowardice Syndrome (TCS) is torching your future for a pat on the head that never comes.”

“Marjorie Taylor Greene spent years humiliating herself in blind loyalty, defending everything no matter how indefensible. The moment she pushed back on Trump over Jeffrey Epstein, he turned on her and threatened her son. Trump Cowardice Syndrome is discovering loyalty only flows one way, and dissent gets punished immediately.”

“Lauren Boebert stayed loyal, loud, and obedient. Trump still vetoed legislation just to punish her over support for releasing the Epstein files -- cancelling a critical water project in her district. Trump Cowardice Syndrome means learning that devotion does not protect you or the people you represent.”

“Mike Pence gave Trump absolute loyalty for four years. When Trump demanded he break the Constitution, Pence refused. Trump publicly trashed him and left him to face a mob chanting for his execution. Trump Cowardice Syndrome is believing obedience guarantees safety.”

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
