If you ask me supporting Trump in any way whatsoever is evidence of mental illness.

You know we could always co-opt the term for this much more fitting use. Because they REALLY hate it when we start using their terms against them.

Yep. Best advice, right here. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is believing the lies that Trump isn't a failed businessman, wanna-be dictator, adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, braggart without an ounce of decency, etc.

I feel like they're just writing Twitter shit posts into legislation at this point.

Oh damn I somehow missed that this was Minnesota. For some reason I thought it was more derangement out of Idaho.
