Senate Republicans in Minnesota are set to introduce a bill that classifies "Trump Derangement Syndrome," commonly referred to as TDS, as a mental illness.

For those not privy to the latest medical journals, TDS is a condition where otherwise normal humans turn into frothing, wild-eyed lunatics at the mere mention of a particular golden-haired president.

Symptoms include spontaneous outbursts of "Orange Man Bad!", an uncontrollable urge to blame him for everything (including, but not limited to, their burnt toast), and a knack for seeing Hitler in everything he says. 

The bill, already logged into the legislature website, will be formally introduced and read in the chamber on Monday. It has five Republican authors added to it.

Normally, I despise these gimmick bills, but I'm giving this one a pass on account of it's freaking funny. 

The legislation adds TDS to a list of diagnostic codes for mental illness and notes that the derangement "seriously limits a person's capacity to function in primary aspects of daily living such as personal relations, living arrangements, work, and recreation."

The subsection pertaining to TDS reads:

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump's behavior.

That's pretty much what was said above.

We've seen the acts of "paranoia" prior to the election when those suffering from TDS repeatedly referred to President Trump and his supporters as Nazis.

We're now entering the hysteria phase with Democrat lawmakers trying to overrun federal buildings and responding to the current state of affairs by punctuating everything with some sort of expletive. You know, because they're super-secret badasses or something.

We've seen the rage hysteria with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) saying, "slap me and wake me the f**k up" over the Trump presidency, a seemingly high Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) saying, "what a f**king week," and Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) saying "we have to f**k Trump."

As for Minnesotans specifically, you have Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) screeching that Americans are "idiots" who are too "stupid" to be "allowed" to hold their political views. And Governor Tim Walz (D) railing that America has been overrun by "fascists and Nazis."

Total hysteria. At least now, should this bill pass, they can get the mental health services they so desperately need.
