Five Republican Minnesota state senators are pushing for the term to be included in the state's definition of mental illness.

Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.

      Joey badass said it years ago - have to be careful now.

      “With all of the conflict of propaganda, I believe they are simply tryna slander
      Start a Civil War within the USA amongst black and white and those alike
      They are simply pushin’ us to our limit so that we can all get together and get with it
      They want us to rebel, so that it makes easier for them to kill us and put us in jails Alton Sterlings are happenin’ every day in this country and around the world
      The scary part, boys and girls
      Is most of these stories don’t make it to the news and reach mass consciousness It is for sure time that we as a people stand up for acknowledgement
      And accomplishment of what we call human rights
      [It is time to rebel, better yet, raise hell
      I just want everyone to be cautious about how they go about it
      Because this is all part of the government’s plan and what they been plottin’ They’re literally beggin’ for this to happen, so they can kill us off
      Usin’ uprisin’ and rebellion as the excuse in a timely fashion The cancerous foods, the chemical warfare, economic sufferin’ is not workin’ fast enough
      There are many steps ahead of us and manifestin’ the future that they want
      We have to work together, not only rattlin’ them on a physical plane
      But to outsmart them on an intellectual mental level the same

      Justice won’t be served by a hashtag, and that’s the very reason I ask that
      What are we to do? We’re scattered around
      With no clue of this ugly truth
      All we know is who they ridiculed and who gets minisculed
      Time to wake the fuck up and do our own research
      And not form opinions based on just what we’ve heard
      Ameri-K-K-K-a is force feedin’ you lies down your throats with a silver spoon
      And eventually, we’ll all be doomed
      Real, real, real soon

        You’re putting words in my mouth, I didn’t say anything about rebellion or anything like that.
