DISCLAIMER

In this episode, we explore the phenomenon commonly referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). It is essential to note that TDS has not been officially recognized as a legitimate mental health condition by any recognized mental health or medical organizations. The term is often employed by far-right individuals to label those who oppose or perceive the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, as a threat to the integrity of the government.
