Donald Trump, during a recent Oval Office event on new maternal health initiatives, talked about “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. Following this, White House shared a post listing the “treatments” for someone “suffering from the syndrome”. The tweet, however, has failed to impress most social media users, who took it upon themselves to share edited versions of the “list”, and the results are hilarious.

“They’ve got serious Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is actually a disease. I’m hearing it is actually a disease. It’s a honor,” Donald Trump said during the event and Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor, Margo Martin, shared a video of the moment on X.

Responding to the post, the White House tweeted, “Send to someone who needs.” The organisation shared a picture with a prescription template.

The “treatments” listed are: “Trusting in Trump,” “Listening to national anthem,” “Limit fake news,” and “Don’t be a panican.”

The post sparked further comments. An X user wrote, “Stop the f**king memes and start working. Gas is $5, groceries are a luxury, and household costs are insane. While this administration posts jokes for clicks, the American people are drowning. The polls don't lie - Americans are waking up. November is going to be a reality check.” Another expressed, “Our wonderful President Trump is a man travelling comedy show. Democrats and liberals just don't get how truly funny he is.”

A third commented, “Why would the diagnosis be in the patient info section? You can't even meme right.” A fourth expressed, “We demand to see the Epstein files, and Trump sends this dumb prescription as a way to cover up his past. No thanks.”

What is “Trump Derangement Syndrome”?

It is a fake condition coined by MAGA-aligned media figures. However, interestingly, in 2025, Minnesota Senate Republicans sparked controversy after they tried introducing a new bill seeking to classify "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a mental illness.

The bill defined Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) as an "acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons triggered by reactions to Donald J. Trump's policies and presidency, characterized by symptoms such as intense verbal hostility toward Trump and potential acts of aggression against Trump supporters.”
