Arizona lawmaker seeks state study of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'

There is no actual psychological or medical diagnosis.
MAGA medicine: eliminates vaccines which have proven themselves effective, and treats conditions for which there is not even a definition.

There is no actual psychological or medical diagnosis.
Sen. Janae Shamp, R-Surprise, speaks during a news conference at the Arizona Capitol in this 2025 file photo. Shamp has introduced legislation that would require the state health department to study what she calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” despite no recognized medical or psychological diagnosis.

The far-reaching proposal by Sen. Janae Shamp of Surprise is directing the agency to study the "origins, manifestations, and long-term effects on individuals, communities and the public discourse." And that specifically includes an analysis of "contributing factors,'' including media exposure.
But that's just part of what is in her SB 1070. Shamp also wants the report to explore "potential interventions or strategies to mitigate or prevent Trump Derangement Syndrome.''
The idea is not entirely new. In fact, some provisions of Shamp's legislation appear to be lifted, word-for-word, from a proposal by Warren Davidson, a Republican congressman from Ohio. He wants a similar study conducted by the director of the National Institutes of Health into TDS, which his HR 3432 defines as "a behavioral or psychological phenomenon involving intense emotional or cognitive reactions to Donald J. Trump, his actions, or his public presence.'' And Shamp, like Davidson, said the problem dates back to 2016, when Trump ran for president the first time.
Shamp did not return repeated messages seeking comment about her measure.
Davidson, however, made his own intentions clear in a press release.
"TDS has divided families and the country and led to nationwide violence," the Ohio Republican said in his statement, including two assassination attempts against Trump. He said his measure would require the federal agency to "study this toxic state of mind so we can understand the root causes and identify solutions."
Anyway, Davidson said, it makes more sense than giving NIH federal dollars to spend on "ludicrous studies such as giving methamphetamine to cats or teaching monkeys to gamble for their drinking water.''
Shamp's legislation, like its federal counterpart, also contains no new funding. Instead, it simply gives the health director a year after her measure becomes law-assuming that happens-to issue its report.
But her SB 1070 is more than just a directive for a study. It also would put into law a laundry list of what she said are accomplishments of Trump as president, ranging from lower corporate tax rates, negotiating peace treaties, enhanced border security, more jobs through tariffs, and "affirming biological truth in federal policy to protect family values.''
And the measure even includes a legislative finding-even before there's actually any study-that selective media reporting and amplification of unverified claims about President Trump's conduct have fueled TDS, intensifying polarized public reactions and deepening societal division.''
Trump himself used the phrase just recently after the slaying of actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in their home.
Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested in the deaths. But the president, in a social media post, said the activist actor and critic of Trump died due to ''the anger he caused others through ... a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.''
If the measure is approved, the obligation to study would fall on Debbie Johnston, who was appointed by Gov. Katie Hobbs to head the health department last month. An aide said that Johnston, who still has to be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, would not comment on pending legislation.
And Christian Slater, press aide to the Democratic governor, also refused to weigh in.
But Will Humble, who served as health director under Republican Gov. Jan Brewer from 2009 until early 2015, said the idea has no scientific merit.
"There's no diagnostic code,'' he said, referring to the system to classify medical conditions, including mental health.
"This is a statement bill,'' he said. "It's a bureaucracy bill in the end to get the health department to create a worthless report.''
It remains to be seen whether Shamp will have any better luck than Davidson in advancing her measure.
His HR 3432 was assigned to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce the day it was introduced in May. And it hasn't advanced at all from there.
Shamp's bill has yet to be assigned to a committee.
But she also no longer has the political sway she once had to ensure that her proposals get a hearing.
At the beginning of last session she was the majority leader, a position to which she had been elected by her Republican colleagues. But she was voted out by those same GOP lawmakers in June after she refused to go along with a bipartisan budget that Senate Republican leaders had negotiated with Hobbs.

She obviously has acute, crippling psychological problems.
maga!
a lot of these people live in a demented bubble of fox news and maga influencers
Some of these so-called "derangement syndromes" may be more common than many people realize.
For example, one of my closest friends has strong cases not only of TDS ("Trump Derangement Syndrome") but also a strong case of HDS & SDS ("Hitler Derangement Syndrome" as well as "Stalin Derangement Syndrome").

(Nor have I ever POOTV
)
I was just going to go with she's a special kind of stupid
their skulls slowbake and their tiny brains calcify under that sun ...
Milk Carton stupid?
window licking stupid ...
It does seem like such a crippling disease. Why not research it? Look how the left and the Democrats have been able to accomplish absolutely NOTHING because of it.
It should be,. Rosie O'Donnel should be listed as patient zero.
I remember a psychologist went public a few weeks ago and stated that if TDS were an actual diagnosis, about 70 percent of the people he has seen in the past year would have been diagnosed with it.
Of course, because of his observations and opinion, he received multiple death threats from, you guessed it, "undiagnosed" TDS afflicted.
Stories like this are s-o-o-o cool! No names, no citations, ... just BS puke.
What's even more cool is when a poster mocks someone for not providing a link to the claim, but gets one from same poster in less than 30 minutes.
The BS puke is when someone's google is broken
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real — these hysterical threats prove it | New York Post
The title of your Post article shows that it's wrong. "Hysterical threats" prove nothing. They are anecdotes. Anecdotes are served up as evidence in two instances: when one does not know the différence, or when one assumes that one's listener is too ignorant to know the difference.
[deleted][✘]
c'mon, Bob. His link is from the NY Post...not the best and brightest in journalism
So we should all just assume your posts are nothing more than anecdotes.
Got anything to counter it?
It's interesting, though...
It's proof that he does not understand what the word "proof" means. I can't imagine that one NTer would try to bamboozle another NTer with fake news.
You probably should learn the meaning of the word "anecdote".
No not really. An anecdote is normally a story that someone tells that usually if far less important than the storyteller wants you to believe.
Most of your posts support this
You probably should learn the meaning of the word "anecdote"
does this help?
My favorite antidote for Trump is ALCOHAUL !
and lots of it!
mine is weed, and vandalizing marked maga vehicles ...
Excellent!
This definition provides a list of synonyms, none of which is "proof".
On the contrary, several in the list imply "less the the strict truth".
Excellent!
So is trump devotion syndrome.
In moderation Iggy, in moderation.... <cracks open another White Claw>
“Why not research it?”
studies have shown that the farther left a person gets the more mental issues they have.
As evidenced by emojis as the only means of rebuttal.
Here ya go bob.
I think it starts with dying your hair purple or blue and ends when you try and assassinate a president.
Of course, there are a whole lot of layers of crazy in between.
I see nothing about TDS... Do you?
Just look at a lot of the articles put up here on NT.
The seeded article mentions that tds is a mental issue. Studies have shown that lefties have more mental issues than the average person.
You sure it doesn't start with painting your face orange?
And other "studies" have "shown" that while the Moon is only 1/6th the size of the Earth, it further away!
... and his comb over yellow, like the stripe down his back.
That would be like some poor fellow who had developed a taste for eating shit saying "Hey, we should research why people don't want to eat feces. I mean, lots of people seem to refuse to eat shit, isn't that weird?".
Not liking a lying convicted felon and admitted sexual predator who is crass and obnoxious and downright moronic while also undeservedly narcissistic isn't a "disease" crippling or otherwise. It's what rational intelligent people who care about facts and reality do. But I get that the shit eaters want to claim everybody out there not eating shit are the weird ones. You guys go right on ahead and keep gobbling down that rectal chum, I really couldn't give a fuck about what shit eaters think about me.
100 Thumbs Up!
‘It does seem like such a crippling disease’
See Rosie Odonnell for a prime example
Or Robert DeNiro.
... probably not as serious as being magatarded.
Do U know what would make a lot, a helluva lot more sense? How about a study in an attempt to explain how the 'right' suddenly became so flexible asz they continue to bend over backwards in attempts to either defend the guy, or keep their pussys' out of his reach. The contortion so beyond the proportion and preponderance of evidence that might need be required to convince most about anyone of the so many things wrong with this guy, as he has proven it's the sky, where a limit would reside, cause it's like Dr. Jekyll defending his Hyde, as they don't seek, or even attempt sleek, as he rapes and pillages young women/girls, and bombs the villages, as it's his way of 'SQUIRRELS"!
You might think it would make more sense, but since the article is on TDS in the leftist world.........
Hilarious. The article is about the abject stupidity of loonies like Sen. Janae Shamp of Surprise and the "TDS" idiocy of all the weak, pathetic right wing blowhards.
C'mon! You don't expect these people to hold the topic mind for more than a few minutes, do you? I mean, assuming they ever identified the topic to begin with...
When the topic is as idiotic as this one is...
So, i was correct.
the article is about TDS in the leftist world.
Whatever else you said would have been thrown out by a jury, even a leftist one in NY or DC, simply because of the stupidity of the comment.
No, Gsquared was and still is.
That said, Ms Shamp is certifiably nuts:
‘No, Gsquared was and still is.’
Your opinion……and greatly exagerated.
Every rational, thinking person knows for a fact that's not true.
There you have it, folks, a classic, textbook example of projection. It does make for a fascinating psychological study, though.
Thank you, Hallux. It's typical for right wingers to make their usual, ineffective arguments when confronted with something that doesn't fit within their distorted world view.

Holy shit the projection here is overwhelming.
It has been well established that anytime a leftist accuses someone on the right of something, you can damn well be assured that leftist is either engaging in or has done what he accuses others of.
4.1.7 is a prime example
Nope. You haven't established shit. All you've done is show your support for one of the stupidest most moronic attempts to dismiss real concerns about a known liar and convicted felon. That's it. That's all conservatives have is inventing some supposed disorder or 'syndrome' so that they can continue being the dumbest fucking people on the planet and ignore all the facts about their incompetent choice for President.
That is not true...
That is true...
And yet . . ."people are saying" that "studies have shown" that the topic "has been proven" not to be idiotic!
(Oh...the horror of it all! )
Show me where I said it has been established. This is common knowledge for decades now.
The rest of your rant is nothing more than "but Truuuuuuump", and Charlie Brown's teacher.
Prove me wrong...
American Derangement Syndrome.
ODS was followed by TDS which in turn was followed by BDS which has firmly implanted itself in Trump's 'brain' to the tune of upto 100 'but Biden' posts daily ... JFK jr's worm has jumped ship and the rats have taken the hint with MTG offering swimming lessons. 2026 should be depressingly hilarious.
These are the kind of unserious people who should not be anywhere near government.
What is “it?” She doesn’t even define it.
So what? Where is the problem? You worship him (which seems deranged enough to me), while other people hate him. That’s life. But conservative snowflakes can’t handle the idea that most people don’t worship their savior like they do. That’s life. It doesn’t make it a public health issue.
So does college football…and lots of other things.
The root cause is that people don’t like being governed by narcissistic fascists. This whole thing is like blaming the rest of the world for hating the Nazis, or blaming a wife for hating the husband who beats her.
She says while wearing a cowboy hat to a news conference.
It has been scientifically proven that wearing a cowboy hat to a news conference is a sign of brain damage.
People are saying that that is true.
Very, very true...

I wear a cowboy hat quite a bit - when I’m doing yard work, or it’s raining, or it’s a little cold. I consider it protective headwear, mainly, though I don’t hate how it looks. But I take it off when I’m inside because I’m not a weirdo. For whatever reason, these folks wanted people to know they wear a cowboy hat.
Also own and wear a few cowboy hats that I wear at county fairs, tractor pulls, and just when I want to keep the sun out of my eyes or the rain off of my head.
My god did you notice the size of that thing?!
The only Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) that I am aware of comes from the deranged things that Trump and his sycophants say and do. Those of us who call out Trump's insanity can hardly be called "deranged".
.... huh, I always thought tds stood for something else.
