EXCLUSIVE MAGA ally takes 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' outrage to next level with hilarious move trolling Democrats
To MAGA haters, thinking of Donald Trump evokes an automatic rage-filled response called 'Trump Derangement Syndrome,' and now Congress wants it studied.
For nearly a decade, extreme political animus toward the 45th and 47th president has been commonplace.
He has been called an enemy of democracy, a fascist and a dictator akin to Hitler by his political opponents, including from some within his own party.
Trump has been so heavily demonized that his actions - maybe even his mere existence - have sparked nationwide protests, effigy burnings and multiple assassination attempts.
So to finally get to the bottom of what is fueling the fiery outrage, Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, introduced the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Research Act of 2025 on Thursday to study this presidential phenomenon.
'TDS has divided families, the country, and led to nationwide violence—including two assassination attempts on President Trump,' Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, told the Daily Mail in a statement.
Admittedly a messaging bill, the proposal seeks to leverage the National Institute of Health's existing programs to study the disorder. And it's shouldn't cost a dime.
'The TDS Research Act would require the NIH to study this toxic state of mind, so we can understand the root cause and identify solutions.' said Davidson.
The bill would provide funds to study TDS symptoms, its origins, long-term effects and intervention methods, according to bill text reviewed by the Daily Mail.
It defines TDS as 'intense, irrational emotional or cognitive reactions to President Donald J. Trump, his actions, or his public presence.'
To avoid spending money on the program the bill will reallocate NIH resources inside the Institute of Mental Health.
And compared to some of the projects that NIH has funded in the past, the TDS research is actually 'relevant' to everyday Americans, the congressman argues.
'Instead of funding ludicrous studies such as giving methamphetamine to cats or teaching monkeys to gamble for their drinking water, the NIH should use that funding to research issues that are relevant to the real world,' Davidson's statement continued.
According to the Ohio Republican's office, the bill would direct the NIH to study the psychological and social roots of TDS.
It would also direct the health agency to examine whether the media's coverage of Trump was a contributing factor to the spread of TDS.
'Notable early instances of TDS include certain media coverage amplifying polarized responses to Donald J. Trump's campaign rhetoric, which some observers cite as initial signs of TDS, though precise origins remain understudied,' the bill states.
Finding 'patient zero' of TDS is also a priority, according to a one-pager of the legislation.
Stipulations require that the NIH provide a report to Congress with data and its finding within two years of enacting the measure.
The act is cosponsored by Alabama Republican Rep. Barry Moore.
It is unclear if there is the appetite for such a messaging bill on the House floor at this point.
House Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson are rushing to cobble together a massive multi-trillion dollar 'big, beautiful bill' to pass Trump's agenda.
They have a self-imposed deadline to finish their work before Memorial Day weekend next week.
And as they work to enact tax cuts, the quest to find the origins of TDS will likely stay on the sidelines.
In March, a group of GOP senators in Minnesota similarly filed a bill that would classify TDS as an official disorder.
Their proposal explains that TDS manifests as 'verbal expressions of intense hostility' toward Donald Trump and 'overt acts of aggression and violence' against any person or thing that expresses support for the president.
