Symptoms of the faux illness include ‘Trump-induced general hysteria’ where a person struggles to distinguish between ‘legitimate policy’ and ‘psychic pathology’
I saw it in leftist circles long before I saw conservatives using it. Same for the Blue MAGA label. They’re born from leftist criticism of neoliberals & conservatives being two sides of the same coin, and the terms have been co-opted by Red MAGA to a degree.
The origin of the term is traced to Charles Krauthammer, a conservative political columnist, commentator, and psychiatrist, who coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That “syndrome” was defined by Krauthammer as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush”.[9][10][11][12] The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to “Ruling Class Republicans” who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.[13] Krauthammer, in an op-ed commented that—in addition to general hysteria about Trump—the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was the “inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and … signs of psychic pathology”.[12]
No TDS is opposing trump per their definition
Yeah, they’re being broad to use it as an excuse to imprison people for opposing Trump. But they didn’t coin the phrase TDS.
Conservatives 100% coined TDS.

Read it again, and tell me if you think that’s definitive.
I can read it many times, but I can’t understand it for you. TDS is an amorphism of BDS. Try again.
The phrase “may have” is not definitive as you seem to think.
And the phrase “Can be traced back to” is more definitive than you seem to think. Guess we’re at an impasse, since you lack reading comprehension.
