TRDS

Trump Reversal Derangement Syndrome (TRDS) Pronounced: “turds” Overview: Trump Reversal Derangement Syndrome (TRDS) is a frequently observed behavioral condition most commonly identified among ardent supporters of former President Donald J. Trump. The condition is characterized by a paradoxical reversal of the behaviors typically attributed to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS). Diagnostic Characteristics: Individuals exhibiting TRDS demonstrate a consistent and reflexive pattern of response wherein any critical or negative commentary regarding Donald Trump—regardless of context, substance, or factual basis—is met with an immediate accusation that the speaker is suffering from TDS. Clinical Interpretation: This response mechanism serves as the primary diagnostic indicator of TRDS. Ironically, the compulsion to invoke TDS in nearly all discourse involving criticism of Trump suggests an underlying fixation on defending the subject, rather than engaging with the content of the critique itself. Conclusion: Thus, individuals who habitually accuse others of having TDS may, in fact, be the ones experiencing a derivative form of the syndrome—Trump Reversal Derangement Syndrome—wherein the accusation functions as both a defense mechanism and a projection of their own disproportionate emotional or cognitive investment.
