The cause of TDS is clear enough—Donald Trump, his looks, his manner, his nearly every utterance. So far there is no known cure. Ventilators are unnecessary in TDS, for people who progress beyond the first stage tend to vent quite vigorously on their own.Always bad to let passion — especially political passion, which is best avoided altogether — interfere with reasoning.

Without being able to read the article, I think I see. All those who point out that Trump is deranged, are themselves deranged with TDS. Interesting twist, and how counterintuitive, such genius. It's like telling drivers whose tires are flat, that they have a flat tire, getting a response from the Wall Street Journal, that they are the ones with the problem, and that problem is Flat Tire Syndrome (FTS), because every awkward movement from the undercarriage of the car, makes them yell, "Hey, you have a flat tire!" at the driver. No known cure. There is also YJDSS, You Just Dropped Something Syndrome, and of course, the one made famous by a 1972 Midas commercial, YMFIS, Your Muffler, Fix It Syndrome. By the way, what many scientists do not understand, is that respirators can help. It's new research. Pre-prints are showing that respirators cover, or suppress, the vocalizations -- hopeful for treating symptoms, if not a cure. Respirators do not, however, help thse who write instead of vocalize. Special PPE gloves may help in these situations, such as for so many who have WSJSS, Wall Street Journal Sucks Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteHow about Trump Debauchery Syndrome, in which important politicians discover that they care less about fiscal policy, military justice, a foreign policy run for the benefit of the country, etc., than with the approval of the president, whose disfavor can give Qanon buffs a leg up to beat them in the primary?
