4. It's their silly attempt to throw back

what was a fairly effective insult from our side.

We used the term “Obama Derangement Syndrome” (or ODS) to mock conservatives when right-wing media worked themselves up into outrage over things like Obama putting mustard on a burger or wearing a tan suit (yes, there is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to that one).

Now Trump supporters are trying to flip this back on us as if the rampant corruption, lawbreaking, destruction of alliances, cozying up to brutal dictators, and other widely authoritarian actions from their clearly deteriorating president — oh, not to mention that he was literally best friends with the world’s most famous pedophile sex trafficker — are on the same level as wearing a tan suit.

Not sure it’s working, because it seems pretty obvious that if anyone has Trump Derangement Syndrome, it’s the people still supporting this shambles of an administration.
