Oh, brother, if there’s one gift the left gave us during Trump’s reign, it’s “Trump Derangement Syndrome” – that delicious term for the foaming-at-the-mouth madness that turns otherwise sane folks into babbling idiots whenever the name Donald J. Trump crosses their lips. It’s not just disagreement; it’s a full-blown meltdown where facts fly out the window and conspiracy theories become gospel. From the moment he rode down that escalator in 2015, the elites lost their minds, and even in 2025, with Trump back in the Oval crushing it, the TDS sufferers are still twitching like they stuck their finger in a light socket. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a national embarrassment, a symptom of the swamp’s desperation to cling to power. We’ve got ten prime examples that show how deep the derangement runs – wake up, America, because this sickness is what’s keeping us from putting the nation first.
- The Endless Russia Collusion Delusion: For three years, from 2017 to 2019, the media and Dems peddled the fairy tale that Trump was Putin’s puppet, based on a bogus dossier funded by his opponents. Mueller’s March 22, 2019, report found no collusion, but the haters kept screeching “treason” like it was 1776. Even after it all crumbled, they blamed Trump for “interfering” with the investigation – pure projection from a crowd that couldn’t find Russia on a map without Google.
- The Charlottesville “Fine People” Hoax: August 15, 2017, Trump condemned neo-Nazis “on many sides,” but the left twisted it into him praising white supremacists, ignoring his explicit disavowal. CNN and MSNBC ran with it for years, turning a clear statement into “very fine people on both sides” lie that fueled endless “racist” smears. It’s the gift that keeps on giving for TDS patients who need a villain to justify their hate.
- Impeachment Circus Number One: December 18, 2019, the House impeached Trump over a perfect phone call with Ukraine’s president – a call that was literally “perfect,” as even the transcript showed no quid pro quo. Dems called it “high crimes,” but it was payback for winning in 2016. The Senate acquitted on February 5, 2020, yet the deranged kept calling him “impeached forever” like it was a badge of honor.
- Robert De Niro’s Unhinged Rant: At the June 10, 2018, Tony Awards, the “Raging Bull” actor grabbed the mic and yelled “F*** Trump!” to a cheering crowd, then later in 2018 said he’d like to “punch him in the face.” This from a guy whose movies are about tough guys, but when it comes to politics, he’s reduced to toddler tantrums – classic TDS, where hate overrides any sense of class or coherence.
- Kathy Griffin’s Severed Head Stunt: May 30, 2017, the comedian posed with a fake bloody head of Trump, grinning like a maniac. She claimed it was “art,” but it was a call for violence that got her CNN gig axed. Griffin doubled down, whining about “backlash,” but it was peak derangement – imagining decapitating a president because you can’t stand his tweets.
- The January 6 “Insurrection” Obsession: From January 6, 2021, onward, the left branded a rowdy protest as an “armed rebellion” to overthrow the government, ignoring that most “insurrectionists” were unarmed tourists in MAGA hats. Pelosi’s January 13, 2021, impeachment call was pure TDS revenge, and even in 2025, they’re still jailing grannies for “parading” while ignoring real riots like 2020’s $2 billion BLM bonfire.
- Biden’s “Threat to Democracy” Mantra: Joe Biden, in speeches from 2021 to 2024, labeled Trump a “clear and present danger” to democracy, especially in his September 1, 2022, Philadelphia rant where he called MAGA Republicans “extremists.” This from the guy who weaponized the DOJ against his political rival – hypocrisy on steroids, but TDS means you can’t see your own reflection.
- Johnny Depp’s Assassination “Joke”: At the June 21, 2016, Glastonbury Festival, the Pirates star mused about firing a bullet at Trump, asking “Can we bring Tom Cruise? Oh, yeah, hang on. You want a f***ing movie?” It was “humor” to the deranged crowd, but it was a celebrity green light for violence that set the tone for years of hate.
- Bette Midler’s Twitter Meltdowns: The “Rose” singer’s 2016-2020 tweets were a TDS greatest hits album – calling Trump a “pig,” wishing his plane would crash, and fantasizing about his death from COVID in 2020. Midler, a Broadway diva, reduced herself to online troll, proving showbiz stars can’t handle a leader who doesn’t bow to Hollywood.
- The 25th Amendment Freakouts: Every tweet from 2017 to 2021 had some pundit or pol calling for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump as “unfit.” Pelosi pushed it in October 2019, and after the election, it was “insane” chants – all while ignoring Biden’s obvious decline. TDS at its finest: Projecting your leader’s frailties onto the guy actually getting things done.
This TDS parade isn’t funny anymore; it’s a threat to the republic. These examples show a left so unhinged they’d burn the house down to spite Trump lighting the fire. Polls confirm the madness: A September 2025 survey found 55% of Americans think media coverage of Trump is “unfairly negative,” with 62% of independents agreeing the obsession hurts national unity. America First means moving past the hate – Trump’s winning without it, while the deranged chase shadows. Wake up, or let the syndrome sink us all.
