Former President Donald Trump provided a hilarious overview of “Trump derangement syndrome” during a sit-down with parental rights in education group Moms For Liberty on Friday.
Trump derangement syndrome, commonly referred to as “TDS,” is a term that has been used by Trump supporters for years to describe individuals who have an irrational hatred of the former president. TDS sufferers possess little to know ability to explain why they hate Trump, though high-profile hoaxes such as the thoroughly debunked Russian collusion allegation and the “very fine people” hoax form the basis of many cases.
During an hourlong “fireside chat” with Moms For Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice on Friday, former President Trump shared insight on the debilitating illness. “Because you come under fire a lot. Our moms are standing for things that often the media attacks them on. We’d love to get some advice from you about running for office,” Justice asked the former president.

After joking that his advice would be to not run for office, Trump commented on the current political climate. “I do say this, though. It is nastier to run as a Republican. It is. Now, I’m the ultimate, you know, I mean, they suffer from a thing called TDS. Do you know what that is? TDS is a horrible, horrible terminal disease,” Trump said.
“It destroys the mind. It destroys the mind before the body, but the body eventually goes. TDS is Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump is not the only leading political figure to comment on the effects of TDS in recent days.
Earlier this week, independent vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan shared a satirical ad for TDS treatment, which was made in the form of a mock pharmaceutical commercial.
“Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS, also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome? Do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing our country, such as historic inflation, illegal immigration, corporate corruption, World War Three escalations, and the chronic disease epidemic?” a narrator asks.
“Are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history and offers no policy or vision for America, simply because your brain keeps telling you, ‘Anyone but Trump.’ If so, you might be suffering from TDS.”
The ad then presents “independence” as a successful remedy. “Independence allows you the freedom to finally think independently once again. instead of believing everything you hear from the mainstream media, independence allows for constructive critical thinking,” the narrator continues.
