In this RedState article, Bob Hoge highlights President Trump joking about “Trump Derangement Syndrome” while the White House leaned into the bit with mock remedies and political trolling.
- Trump made the remarks during an Oval Office event focused on the administration’s maternal healthcare efforts.
- He joked that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is “actually a disease,” framing his critics as reflexively opposed to anything he supports.
- Trump suggested he could start proposing the opposite of what he wants so Democrats would automatically oppose it and accidentally support his real agenda.
- The White House joined in by posting a fake “prescription” for people suffering from TDS.
- Hoge argues that Trump’s humor is unusually effective and compares him favorably to Ronald Reagan’s wit.
- The article points to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s criticism of Trump’s White House security-related plans as an example of anti-Trump overreaction.
- Hoge also notes that even some Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman and Bill Maher, have acknowledged the broader phenomenon of knee-jerk anti-Trump opposition.
- The piece concludes by arguing that TDS has become shorthand for Democratic obstruction and that the political “cure” is defeating Democrats at the ballot box.
