Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.
