...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?
It’s another “every accusation is a confession” - he’s accusing people who hate him of having this, but really it’s the ones who are obsessed with loving him that are deranged.
Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.
It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.
This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".
Trump wants his opponents tortured in prison "hospitals," just like what's done to Putin's opponents.
A little?
This is directly attempting to make criticizing Trump result in active life fuck-uppery.
Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.
