Probably Just a Joke

Quote of the Day

Arizona State Senator Janae Shamp (R-Surprise) introduced a bill this month ahead of the 2026 legislative session that would instruct the director of the Department of Health Services to “conduct or support research to advance the understanding of Trump Derangement Syndrome [TDS], including its origins, manifestations and long-term effects on individuals, communities and public discourse.”

Senate Bill (SB) 1070 — a bill number historically associated with Arizona’s landmark 2010 immigration law— lays out the reasons why Shamp believes the research is necessary to investigate those who dislike President Donald Trump, and “declares TDS a public health crisis that affects 10 mental health, social cohesion and political stability in this state.”

Named the “Trump Derangement Syndrome Study Act,” the bill will “Requir[e] the department to collaborate with mental health 16 professionals and other stakeholders to develop interventions for mitigating TDS-related division.”

The complete bill is here (or, for backup, here).

Hmmm… I wonder if this is more of a joke than a serious effort to study the problem. There does not appear to be any funding for the study, so I suspect it is just something to get a laugh out of Trump supports and a blood pressure rise out of those suffering from TDS.

  1. Maybe if they call it “political/ideological disregulation syndrome”, it’d be a better generic description. After Bush Derangement Syndrome and Trump Derangement Syndrome, it’s obviously not really a person specific thing, but whoever is Literally Hitler at the moment.

  2. At least a couple folks in Olympia have a token clue. Probably has as much chance as the AZ bill but at least it discusses finances, though it definitely short of the needed funds IMHO.

    SB 5939 – 2025-26, Creating the Washington is simply unaffordable fund.
    “This act is intended to assist lower-income residents for whom Washington is simply no longer affordable that desire to relocate to a more affordable state.”

  3. TDS exists, specifically among those who can look at all the evidence of Trump being a pedophile and rapist and think, “Yeppers, that’s MY president!”

    There’s another form as well, in Trump himself: It’s clear he has dementia and has had at least one stroke in the past 6 months. Not that anyone should let that distract them from blaming it on Biden….

        • You mean the same FBI that sat on all of it for how many years? And why? We know Biden wasn’t in there. He had his own kids to molest.

    • Who is blaming Biden for anything?
      Everyone knows it was the evil auto-pen that was the acting president.
      And Trump is what you get when you run likes of Kamel Harris. And coupled with communist indoctrination of the educated caste.
      “TDS exist.”
      TDS is what one gets from pure frustration in not being recognized for the brilliant super-star/hero your college professor told you you are. And him not understanding the implanted utopian ideas of how the world should work. (Which never do.)
      So we can only guess you’all communists be stuck.
      Start a war, start shooting, or just whine about Trump like we had to do about Biden for four years.
      As for the things you say Trump is and has done. Got any proof that someone in power is going to do anything with?
      Ya, didn’t think so.
      Enjoy, and a happy new year!
      And if the TDS gets to much? I’m sure Pfizer can fix you right up.
