Dr. Drew Pinsky, one of America’s favorite TV doctors, recently appeared on FOX News and offered a very real psychological profile of the mental disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
TDS has been around for years, but recently Trump has been racking up so many wins that Democrats seem especially afflicted with it.
Pinsky is a real doctor, and while he is not a psychiatrist, his analysis is pretty darn good. He suggests that one of the main causes is narcissism. The sufferer thinks everything is all about him or her.

RAYMOND ARROYO, FOX NEWS: Given the magnitude of this crisis, we brought in a professional. With his diagnosis is Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of Ask Doctor Drew on Rumble and YouTube. He’s also the wellness company’s chief patient officer.
Dr. Drew, what would you prescribe Congresswoman Britney Peterson who seems to be suffering from a bad case of TDS?
DR. DREW PINSKY, HOST OF ASK DR. DREW ON RUMBLE: She indeed does. I mean, let’s go over some of the symptomatology, right? The first thing is, this is happening to me, right? This is my problem. He’s — the president of the United States is directing all this towards me, and I’m so emotional because what happened to me? Narcissism.
Number two, it’s performance art as the Speaker Johnson just mentioned. The performance art is, I’m here. I’m here, buddy. You’ve got to see me. I have to show you what I’m going through.
And then finally, and this is the most narcissistic impulse of all. I have to show you that I care more than you, and you don’t care because I’m superior.
So, a little reality testing would be good. I think that — and a very — a long vacation maybe, and be kind to these people because they see everything out there outside of their body as happening inside their body.
ARROYO: A person’s —
PINSKY: And this is a very pathological state.
