Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn, alongside four Republican co-authors, introduced a controversial bill intending to include 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' (TDS) in the state's definition of mental illness. Critics argue the bill, which describes TDS as paranoia triggered by President Trump's policies, is a monumental waste of legislative resources and trivializes real mental health issues. Legislative leaders have condemned the proposal as frivolous and dangerous for free speech. Although unlikely to progress through the legislature, the bill has drawn national attention and sparked significant backlash against its implications.
"Adding Trump's Derangement Syndrome to Minnesota's mental illness definitions trivializes serious mental health issues and undermines the integrity of legislative priorities."
"If it is a joke, it's a waste of time and resources; if serious, it affronts free speech and creates a new litigious landscape."
