Minnesota Senate Republicans have sparked controversy with the introduction of a new bill that seeks to classify "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a mental illness.

What is the Trump Derangement Syndrome?
According to the new bill introduced by the Minnesota Senate Republicans, the Trump Derangement Syndromes means “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump."
The symptoms of the Trump Derangement Syndrome “may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump's behaviour,” as described in the Minnesota bill.
The newly introduced bill further stated that it could be “expressed” via, “verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Donald J. Trump; and overt acts of aggression and violence against anyone supporting President Donald J. Trump or anything that symbolizes President Donald J. Trump.”
