Redefining 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'

A Sun-Times reader suggests TDS needs to be applied to the MAGA faithful. Also, thinking through self-driving cars and a withering drive to fund education.

We need to correctly identify who really suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The term shouldn’t apply to those who vehemently oppose Donald Trump. Rather, it is an appropriate description for his ride or dies.

If you support a 34-count convicted felon and twice impeached president, you have TDS.

If you think Trump cares about the middle class and our struggles with the higher prices of goods and service since he took office, you have TDS.

Maga has TDS absolutely backwards, especially since they've proven to everyone what big snowflakes they really are! If you're in a cult, you're damaged in so many kinds of ways. And trump is Jim Jones on steroids... only trump makes us pay for the poison we drink.
