It is a real thing. I know people that were physically sick on election night to the point where they thought they were going to have to go the emergency room.
What about the people that were screaming at the sky on the one year anniversary of his election?
What about the crazies that cry and have melt downs or worse physically and verbally attack a stranger because they were "triggered" by a Trump T shirt or hat?
That is not normal behavior and if it is not a sickness then it is on purpose and they are bullies if not babies that cannot accept reality.
No, there's not. It's not a real thing. It's made up. Just like most of the crap Trump says. MS13 are people. They are not very nice people. They are quite terrible people, but they are people.
MS 13 members shall be called "people" because Democrats haven't figured out a way to get animals to vote.
No... it doesn't. That's kind of the whole point. Nobody who had problems with Bush had any sort of derangement, well... not most people. I do agree that there's going to be a smallish segment of any population on either side of the political spectrum who are just cuckoo birds.
Anyone claiming to know what disorder Trump does or does not have that has not examined him personally is just making an educated guess. So, guessing he has a mental disorder is just as much a guess as guessing that he does not.
His comments and public behaviors are textbook narcissism, but you'd need to examine him to know if this carries into his personal life or not.
In any event, TDS or BDS or ODS or whatever... none of it is real.
People are free to dislike a president. To complain about one.
That has always been the case and shutting off conversations with "TDS!!!" is a lazy way to communicate.
Again 'Bush derangement syndrome' was coined by Charles Krauthammer. It was tongue in cheek. It was never intended to connote a real disorder. TDS is the same.
Again, the psychiatrist who chaired the task force that wrote the DSMs said in essence that the claims of diagnosis from afar of Trump were an absurdity, i.e. not an 'educated guess.' See his letter to the NYT linked above. So yeah, the Salon quote does constitute a good example of TDS, by definition.
The vast majority of Trump's critics don't riot in the streets either, and I think you know that.
I know some pretty far-left types. The sort who aren't even upset over Hillary not winning the election because what they really wanted was Sanders and socialism and none of them are rioting, either.
I wonder if people fear that sort of stuff (not saying ELO does, just discussing the concept) because so many of the rioters seem to be young, strong types and Trump's base tends to skew a bit older?
I suppose that if I supported a candidate and there had been parades to oppose that candidate and riots in some cases, I'd be a bit concerned for overall public safety when these things occurred and it might stick in the back of my mind if I spent enough time watching news coverage of it.
Interesting to ponder.

Here's a good example of what you are talking about:

See his letter to the NYT linked above. So yeah, the Salon quote does constitute a good example of TDS, by definition.
I didn't see the Salon article as attempting to do anything but point out that it's more likely that TDS as an accusation was being used to manipulate people. I do think that's why it gets bandied around so often.
I don't think there's a deep reason other than disinformation, which is something this particular president and anyone who is a staunch supporter seem to be really fond of, for some reason.
Of course diagnosis from afar is absurd. You can make guesses from afar, but they are not diagnoses.
People do that all the time, not just with Trump.

You hang around some odd people then. I watched the election with my husband and 5 friends.
There were groans and facepalms, and I suddenly had a craving for popcorn.
Other than that, that was it. And we were a bunch of 20something San Franciscans.

Some people are particularly emotional.
I knew the whole time that him winning was a possibility but I think my reaction to it was pretty similar to Trump's reaction. Ever watch the footage of him on election night? It wasn't a happy face. It was a face that was really pale... not his usual fake-tan orange. It was rather striking. He did NOT expect to win. I think he was more shocked than I was.
So, yeah... it made me feel sad, but not because I was all "Hillary didn't win" or any of that. I don't like ANY politician enough to be crying over them losing.
Nah... it was more because I was amazed that someone who was such a horrible person and so openly vocal about being a horrible person...AND who was so inadequate to lead in pretty much every way would actually be elected president.
We live in a reality show world now.
And I hate reality TV.
But, some of these people are legitimately flakes. I will admit it. They are.
