Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t really a fair term. These people are clearly not deranged, and make their points in an educated and lucid manner, with only occasional outbursts about Russian prostitutes peeing on beds.
I think a more accurate descriptor would be -Trump. There’s a large group of people that essentially put a - sign in front of everything Trump does, says, or references offhand. The opposite must clearly be positive.
A good example is the Hydrochloroquine/Azithromycin treatment. Hydrochloroquine’s effect on replication of viruses has been studied for a long time, and it initially came under study due to the varied effects of SARS on malarial resistant populations. Of course, Trump did not come up with this, he’s not a doctor. He merely commented on good results one doctor had.
If he would have say, banned the treatment nationwide through executive order due to the possibility of side effects, the -Trump individuals would have bombarded the internet with literature and data supporting it’s use and claimed that he was denying Americans life saving treatment and therefore personally responsible for their deaths. You could program it as a function on many calculators.
It’s uncanny enough that you could potentially write a computer program that takes Trump input and puts out NY Times articles and tweets from individuals with dyed hair and cats and substitute them without anyone noticing.
So I hereby vote that TDS be changed to -Trump. I think it’s more fair to everyone.
