Speaking of crazy ...
/From my own observations, I’d say 53% is way low – closer to 95%, and I’m still probably underestimating.
If you think Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is just another way of saying “obsessed,” the latest Issues & Insights/TIPP survey provides persuasive data to the contrary. Consider these findings:
More than a third of the public (38%) and more than half of Democrats (53%) say they themselves have experienced TDS, when it’s described as “unusually intense negative emotional reactions to Donald Trump.”
70% say they observed Trump-related emotional stress, anger, or agitation among people they know.
62% say they have seen people change their behavior because of strong negative feelings toward Trump.
But wait, there’s more! Dr. Carole Lieberman, a board-certified psychiatrist, has been pushing to add TDS to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Hers is an intriguing story in itself.
