Pacific Standard ( * ) reports as follows:

[As the possibility of a Hillary Clinton victory began to slip away—and the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency became more and more certain—the contours of the new age of American anxiety began to take shape. In a 2017 column, Washington Postcolumnist Dana Milbank described this phenomenon as "Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder":

Overeating. Headaches. Fainting. Irregular heartbeat. Chronic neck pain. Depression. Irritable bowel syndrome. Tightness in the chest. Shortness of breath. Teeth grinding. Stomach ulcer. Indigestion. Shingles. Eye twitching. Nausea. Irritability. High blood sugar. Tinnitus. Reduced immunity. Racing pulse. Shaking limbs. Hair loss. Acid reflux. Deteriorating vision. Stroke. Heart attack. It was a veritable organ recital.

Two years later, the physiological effects of the Trump administration aren't going away. A growing body of research has tracked the detrimental impacts of Trump-related stress on broad segments of the American population, from young adults to women, to racial and L**T communities.

The results aren't good.

MyComment:
If any of the above applies to you, try some Yoga, or Meditation, or better yet, read some of the work of the great libertarian writers such as Rothbard, Mises, etc. A change in perspective, or a re-awakening of the mind and consciousness is just what the doctor ordered.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a satirical psychological diagnosis used to explain the hysterical reaction and belligerent behavior of people, directed towards anything related to President Donald Trump, as pertaining to his presidency. It isn't intended to be a logical argument, rather a jab at another individual's excessive emotional reactions as well as aggressive physical displays. It is an ad hominem argument, not a strawman argument as suggested by another definition.

For example, besides yours above, here is another example of such:

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their love of Donald Trump, to the point they will abandon all logic and reason.

Symptoms for this condition can be very diverse, ranging from r****t or xenophobic outbursts to a complete disconnection from reality. TDS can also often result in the sufferer exhibiting violent, homicidal, or even genocidal desires, particularly against residents from foreign countries.

Sufferers have also been known to wish direct self-harm on themselves (such as increased tariffs, a desire for tax cuts heavily favoring corporations and the 1%, infringement of first amendment rights, and even the destruction of NATO for comrade Putin), provided that action was initiated by Donald Trump.

Paranoia is also a common symptom of TDS. Sufferers have been known to believe that they are in some way being persecuted when their Trump related beliefs are questioned, and in some cases believe they are about to be a victim of an immigrant related crime. The paranoia does however not seem to be bad enough to make TDS sufferers attempt to actually becoming informed and think for themselves.

If properly treated, suffers of TDS can make a full recovery. Many suffers have been known to grow out of TDS, yet many can only be treated by having their condition directly treated through the application of logical reasoning. It is also known that products containing mole can exacerbate the condition.

Re-awakening? Doesn't the mind have be awake in the first place to have that happen and how can you awaken what was never there to start with? These infected vermin should be prescribed 'swallow 2 gun barrels and call me in the morning'.

The week that President Trump took office was the only time that approval of the

"direction of the country" ever reached 50%, average under Obama was about 28%.

Strangely the only cases found are Dim-O-Crats. So far no Republicans have been diagnosed with TDS.

badbob85037

Yea but have you ever seen 28% snivel, whine, and pout to the point of soiling themself like this 28%?
The real positive is short lifes from worry. Like the one and a half pound dog that shakes under the table and soils himself only don't smell as bad.

We have tried online interventions. That does not seem to work. We have tried common sense conversations, only to recieve silly cartoons as a responce from these i***ts.
And we have offered Goat Yoga as a possible therapy. The panel is still our on that recovery plan.
Good Luck and best wishes to the affected sufferers of this tragic illness.
Get Well Soon. The 2020 e******ns are right around the corner.

I do not want the chaff.
I do want the wheat it is attached to.
Meaning I do not want garbage.
Put in context we should all want everyone nearly a million strong and growing being paid wages due them.
Wheat represents our nation as a whole not being run from the top down like a petty game show over something petulant
Like an authoritarian government such as it appears to be.
Exactly how and what does putting so many people at risk prove?
Short answer: absolutely nothing. I told any and every one long ago if this country starts being treated like a game show We would all be in trouble.
Guess what? We are in trouble.
I work for a living, always have.
I v**e for qualified people who can do a job what ever that job may be, I've no clue what category v****g for the best to do the job hired for puts me in.
I have and will continue to put if can whomever methinks can do a job ahead of the rest.
End of story. Don't like it tough.
That's the way it is. America can work this out without being shut down, can we Give it a chance without finger pointing?
If that is a syndrome I suppose
I am in one, I call it t***h, justice and the patriotic American way.
Together we can do anything although together right now seems far off.
