The opposite of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)—which describes an irrational, intense hatred or opposition to Donald Trump — is most commonly referred to as Trump Devotion Syndrome or Trump Vindication Syndrome.
Trump Devotion Syndrome:
A counter-rhetorical term used in political discourse to describe an uncritical, highly loyal, or cult-like infatuation with Donald Trump where supporters defend his actions unconditionally.
Trump Vindication Syndrome (TVS):
A proposed psychological parallel defined by followers blindly accepting his statements as absolute fact, dismissing contradictory evidence or negative news as fake or jokes, and repeating unverified claims.
Asymmetric Trump Bias:
A term used in political science and social psychology studies to describe the cognitive tendency of strong supporters to reflexively adopt any stance or narrative attributed to Trump, regardless of prior beliefs.

Utter nonsense.epic0002 wrote: Fri Sep 18, 2026 1:27 pm You may want to reread your own post.
In a few sentences, Trump went from being a politician you disagree with to “the most significant and dangerous individual in the entire world,” someone who “cannot be trusted to act sanely,” and the explanation for why everyone supposedly needs to keep watching him.
That’s exactly the kind of fixation the TDS 12-step program (with medication for your extreme case) helps with. Admitting is the first step my fellow American…. Oh wait, it looks like it spread accross the ocean!
You’re not just criticizing policies or specific decisions. You’ve elevated one man into a near-omnipresent threat whose behavior apparently demands constant attention, interpretation, and alarm.
Then, after writing an entire paragraph explaining why thinking about Trump constantly is completely rational, you accuse someone else of having the unhealthy obsession.
That may be the most convincing advertisement for our screening test we’ve received so far.
If you seriously believe that Trump is the best president you can have, then you are too far gone to save.epic0002 wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 6:49 am Awesome!

I don't have a problem with this if it's by agreement - as long as there was no coercion involved.HitRed wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 7:57 am The US reached a deal with Denmark and Greenland allowing permanent US military rights on Greenland, while respecting its sovereignty.

It will be a bigger shock if he doesn't try to wangle a third term somehow.
PS Notice how he's banning news outlets like CNN from the press conferences because they don't publish what he wants? Can you not see how that is the action of a tyrant and dictator?
I haven't seen the text, but I suspect it's just an extension of the 1954 agreement, being trumpeted as something new and radical.HitRed wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 7:57 am The US reached a deal with Denmark and Greenland allowing permanent US military rights on Greenland, while respecting its sovereignty.
Keep pretending it's not happening. You'll get a bit of a shock when the stormtroopers turn up on your doorstep.epic0002 wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 8:35 amLove it! keep coming with the updates!!
