‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is a bipartisan phenomenon
It is time we recognize that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is actually a mental health condition most closely aligned with bipolar disorder. Those on the left experience sadness, depression and hopelessness. Those on the right experience excited euphoria, manic energy and a distorted sense of well-being.
These symptoms used to alternate between left-leaning Democrats on the one side and right-leaning Republicans on the other. Over the past six to 12 months, Trump Derangement Syndrome has become increasingly bipolar. A MAGA Republican’s distorted sense of well-being gives way to hopelessness about Democrats unified in opposition to anything Trump. Conversely, a hard-core Democrat may vacillate between depression that quickly switches to racing thoughts and agitation about Trump policies.
My point: When Trump supporters — or aides like Attorney General Pam Bondi in her testimony about the Epstein files — talk derisively about Trump Derangement Syndrome, they had best be looking in the mirror.
