Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags. As of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while around 2,000 new entries were being added daily.

Do you need me to show you the actual post- you're such a bs artist.
You have YOUR Urban Dictionary definition and I have the more commonly used and accepted definition. Left-brain people are amusing
especially when they think that twisting someone else's word's or meaning will make them seem more credible.

You presented a truly creative mendacity. It displays the dishonesty you display for stealing the true definition of the acronym: Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS.
Urban Dictionary offers up this handy definition: “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:
“In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect’s every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world.”
“The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim’s vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole.”
“As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality.”
I believe that your symptoms coincide with the apparent lack of ability to distinguish fantasy from reality
and truth from fiction!
Your post, Justice. Not mine.
Apparently confusion, not clarity, reigns in your world.
It seems "eloquence of verbiage" is out of your reach.
Again, my favorite definition of the acronym TDS: "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 (pro or con) as pertaining to his life or 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 other definitions".
BTW, for your personal edification:
https://www.slanglang.net/slang/trump-derangement-syndrome/ ("the phrase was first defined on Urban Dictionary in 2017")
Psychology Today excerpt: "Mental illnesses are officially classified in a dense and dry book published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). This book contains 947 pages and lists hundreds of mental disorders; TDS is nowhere to be seen. Similarly, a review of scholarly databases such as MEDLINE and Google Scholar reveal no academic papers on this alleged syndrome. Officially at least, TDS is not a real, diagnosable, or treatable mental disorder". .
