Okay, MAGA, let's talk TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You all like to claim that everyone who opposes Trump has it, saying we're "obsessed with Donald Trump" — even though he's the one who demands to be the center of attention every single day. Before Trump, it wasn't normal for a sitting U.S. president to dominate the headlines every single day — but Trump insists on it. He can’t even flat-out say he’s not running for an unconstitutional third term, because that would admit someone else might take the top spot in the Republican Party and become the focus of everyone’s attention.
And if you doubt me, just watch him after the midterms when the 2028 election kicks off and GOP hopefuls start to emerge. He’ll demand to remain the center of attention, even though historically, sitting presidents step back to let the next candidate lead the party.
Trump will never allow that.
So who really has TDS — Democrats or you?
You know, the tens of millions of people buying Trump "swag": the ones in matching hats and shirts, waving flags, attending rallies, and whose entire identity is wrapped up in MAGA.
Folks who practically everyone outside that bubble sees it for what it is: a cult.
These are the same people defending Trump across an endless list of scandals that no one would let a Democrat get away with.
And if you doubt me, consider this: would you call for a Democrat’s impeachment if they skipped congressional approval to start a war with Iran they promised they wouldn’t start, saw their net worth soar by $2 billion in their first year, accepted a $400 million plane from Qatar for “free,” ordered their DOJ to cover up the Epstein files, had the FCC threaten Fox News over unfavorable coverage, and pardoned 1,600+ people who attacked the Capitol inspired by lies about a “stolen” election?
Any Trump supporter who tells me they wouldn't be calling for that Democrat's impeachment is a damn liar.
So, who’s really suffering from TDS? The people pointing out the facts about a president who demands nonstop attention, or the ones blindly following every word he says, spending money on pro-Trump "swag," and building their entire identity around one man: Donald J. Trump.
These people will contradict their own beliefs or turn on anyone Trump tells them to — without question. Their only loyalty is to whatever Trump says.
The man who once said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any support, and he was right.
I hate to break it to you, MAGA world, but that’s Trump Derangement Syndrome.
