      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.

        Trump wants his opponents tortured in prison “hospitals,” just like what’s done to Putin’s opponents.

        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”.

        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.
