Trump Derangement Syndrome ( TDS) is a term used to describe the irrationality of Trump’s critics

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a term routinely used to describe the irrationality of President Donald Trump ’s critics.

The implication is that the critic in question is afflicted by a pathology that makes objective analysis of Trump and his policies impossible.

The origins of the TDS accusation date back to what now seem like the placid years of the George W. Bush presidency.

Frida Ghitis : It's possible to celebrate Trump as the Great Disruptor , but those ridiculing him are gleefully cheering the obliteration of standards, agreements, and barriers.

She says the danger is that those now ridiculing TDS are too taken with disruption for its own sake.

Ghitis says Trump 's supporters look to Trump as an avatar of the chaos’ they want to embrace, yet sooner or later, chaos manifests itself in chaos.

In the coming weeks , months , or years , there will inevitably come a juncture where it becomes clear that it is not Donald Trump’s critics but his acolytes who are deranged.

The United States is undergoing a revolution, but revolutions have a way of eating their own.

Pride goes before a fall, and so do cruelty, gloating and self-aggrandisement.
