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.
