Trump Derangement Syndrome deserves official recognition as a mental disorder in the United States. I have never witnessed a nation so determined to transition from a low-level civil conflict into a war zone, as the U.S. currently is being gradually guided into this state. I will articulate my argument in this article, beginning with America’s ongoing challenges: the circumstances that our citizens face throughout the nation.
Seattle Times tells it like it is.
Homelessness is currently at unprecedented levels, with over 675,000 Americans experiencing homelessness, particularly in urban areas governed by individuals affiliated with the Democratic Party. This issue has persisted for decades. It is essential to clarify that this situation is not attributable to any malevolent intentions of our Democratic counterparts; rather, it is the result of a confluence of various issues that have culminated in a crisis over the years. In America, the concept of royalty does not exist, as the rights traditionally associated with monarchs are enshrined in our constitutional democracy and republic, extending to every citizen who takes pride in identifying as an American.
In recent decades, citizens have courageously fought to uphold the ideals of our magnificent country. Generations X, Millennials, and Z have actively participated in global conflicts, exemplifying their commitment to service. Although we may not have a monarchy, our veterans personify the noble spirit of our republic and democracy. Those who stepped forward, declaring, “send me, I will go,” hailed from a tapestry of diverse backgrounds, uniting as soldiers, spies, diplomats, and contractors to advance the aims of America’s foreign policy on the world stage. Most returned to seamlessly transform their lives in various essential roles within our society. Yet, some returned profoundly changed, bearing the indelible marks of their extraordinary experiences.
Some turned to drugs, alcohol, and other substances to cope with their overwhelming stress. Others found it challenging to transition to civilian life after their military service. This struggle has been evident during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the post-9/11 conflicts, and it persists even today. We have a term for it now, a deeper understanding of what was previously referred to as “the shakes” during the World Wars. We now recognize it as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This condition afflicts some individuals within America’s homeless population. Others endure mental illnesses that remain untreatable, but can find some solace through compassionate care. Our veterans, many of whom find themselves sleeping under bridges, on pavements, or in tents scattered across America, are, in truth, our royalty. A nation that neglects its royalty—those who have bravely offered their lives for their country—does not warrant any blessings from its citizens in return for their sacrifices.
Trump Effect
The homeless population in America is worsening, where 110,000 Americans succumb to drug overdose annually, particularly from the perilous substance known as fentanyl. This substance is colloquially referred to by various names and mixtures on the streets. It is understood, however, that its origins are from abroad, specifically from Communist China. The proliferation of fentanyl is facilitated by organized crime cartels, criminal syndicates, and low-level drug dealers who clandestinely transport it into our nation across its diverse regions. From rural communities to urban areas throughout our esteemed country, there is scarcely a family that remains unaffected by the devastation of this addiction in America. If genocide is defined as the systematic extermination of a population, what term should be applied to the 110,000 individuals who lose their lives each year in America due to overdose?
The addiction crisis in America is significantly exacerbated by the socioeconomic conditions faced by its citizens, which have led to widespread homelessness across the nation. For instance, consider individuals who work full-time at minimum wage yet still cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment anywhere in the country. Additionally, 80% of employed Americans lack even $20,000 in savings. Furthermore, a striking 50% of working and middle-class Americans have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, such as car repairs, unexpected bills, or healthcare copays, even when insured.
Imagine a country so wealthy that it feeds the world, yet in the last two years, 8 million more Americans have fallen below the poverty line. People are losing hope, brothers and sisters. What’s the point when the benefits of social programs far outweigh the incentive to work, even for some low-tier middle-class Americans?
We are all taxed at a rate of 37%, they say, but when we consider all the additional fees—city, county, and state taxes—we see much more being taken from every American. Even the Pharaohs of Egypt took only a quarter of their slaves’ earnings, leading to revolts and a mass exodus from Egypt. We can’t walk out of America. There is nothing like this bastion of freedom, economic opportunity, or even rights equivalence on this planet.
We entered this new world, where Native Americans already occupied the land. Apart from them, we are all immigrants in this great republic and democracy. This is seen as a new world, separate from the old one. Our founding fathers established the new frontier of human civilization, granting us the rights of kings and queens through constitutional means. It all began with the revolution based on the idea of Taxation as Theft—a rebellion aimed at reducing the tax burden. Can we genuinely say we’ve progressed to lower taxes in America 250 years later, when everything is taxed? Who truly has the power now, the citizens or the government? No one can claim it is our citizens anymore!
The rise of the epidemic of drug addiction and the influx of fentanyl and other substances in recent decades has also exacerbated crime in America. From lootings occurring openly to carjackings, this has become the norm in our communities. When our brave police arrest and try to stop it, they face labels ideologically underpinned by nefarious means of understanding.
The notion that criminals possess rights is universally accepted; indeed, the principle that no one is guilty until proven innocent is a cornerstone of the American justice system. However, recent ideological shifts have dramatically changed how we perceive crime. It is increasingly seen not just as an issue of individual wrongdoing, but as a complex societal problem. While this perspective is rooted in compassion and seeks to understand the underlying causes of crime, the repercussions for our communities have been devastating.
Prosecutors often hesitate to prosecute certain offenses fully, and law enforcement faces significant challenges. There’s a concerning reality where individuals can be arrested, detained, and released, often before the paperwork is finalized. This rapid turnover fosters a sense of impunity among criminals, while the police find themselves in an uphill battle, acting in a ‘whack-a-mole’ fashion to address crime. This environment promotes the dangerous idea that society, rather than the individual who commits the crime, bears responsibility for criminal acts. The implications of this shift are troubling and warrant serious consideration as we reassess the balance between rights and accountability in our justice system.
Drug presence in America triggers a series of events that exacerbate numerous nationwide issues. While the immediate costs of emergency room healthcare are considerable, they often overshadow the long-term effects of this crisis. Although we pride ourselves on being a compassionate nation, urban hospitals usually face financial strain that can lead to collapse. This predicament limits their capacity to provide comprehensive healthcare, forcing them to function primarily as emergency care facilities. The drug crisis is financially draining our healthcare system, and our social welfare measures struggle to cope with the escalating expenses, affecting everyone. This economic burden impacts access to healthcare, particularly for people of color in our ghettos, barrios, Chinatowns, and inner-city communities. Healthcare closures have become increasingly common, even in rural areas across the United States.
The citizen at the lowest tier of the economic class in America is increasingly turning away from traditional employment, seeking solace in substances, and depending on social programs. This shift arises from a stark reality: work in today’s America fails to offer the same dignity and stability that it provided for their fathers and grandfathers’ generations.
Truth of our Conditions. The System is Broken—Time to Fix it.
Our communities of color continue to bear the brunt of systemic inequalities, finding themselves at the bottom of nearly every index that measures well-being in America. We face the highest incarceration rates and a health care system that consistently ranks among the worst in the nation. Yet, for nearly six decades since the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act, we have rallied together, supporting our brothers and sisters in the Democratic Party, acknowledging their historical fight for civil rights.
However, as we look toward 2025, we must ponder: What changes have occurred? What does the landscape of civil rights and social justice look like for us today?
During the last election, a significant shift occurred as more people of color across America mobilized to vote Republican than in the past 60 years. This change indicates a transformation in the electorate’s mindset, primarily influenced by their lived conditions. While most still leaned towards Democrats, an increasing number from Hispanic, Asian, Arab, African American, and Native American communities cast their votes for Republicans, notably under the leadership of Donald J. Trump.
Donald Trump is a controversial figure; his demeanor starkly contrasts that of President Barack Obama, who is often remembered for his smooth eloquence. Obama excelled in rhetoric and framed his first term around themes of hope and change. Conversely, when Joe Biden spoke about building a better America, he also garnered significant support from people of color.
Our communities are well-versed in political rhetoric, yet we often find ourselves in deeper poverty and underclass status, sometimes worse off than before. In a climate of disillusionment, many were prepared for an alternative. It wasn’t merely Donald Trump who captured our attention; it was our communities gravitating toward him. “What do we have to lose?” he asked, a sentiment that resonated with many of us. This rhetoric was powerful and reflective of our collective frustrations and hopes for better prospects.
We observed as tens of billions were allocated worldwide to aid, support, and provide solace. Meanwhile, tents emerged in our cities due to the homelessness crisis. Our youth are increasingly becoming disengaged and lost, influenced by substance abuse. Crime rates soared to the extent that our elderly relatives resorted to using Uber for grocery shopping, just ten blocks away. Many of us reached our limit. We mobilized, organized, convened, deliberated, strategized, and found a singular solution: we require an X factor, with our eyes wide open. We understand the implications of old-school Republican values and the Southern strategy, reminiscent of Nixon’s era. We comprehend what Lee Atwater initiated under Nixon—the war on drugs—and have witnessed the disparities in the justice system concerning crack cocaine versus powder cocaine laws, which have disproportionately filled our communities’ prisons with families of people of color for decades. Our awareness is heightened. However, the plight of our communities of color is dire.
While suburbs flourish and the ultra-wealthy thrive, our barrios, ghettos, Chinatowns, and inner cities, including rural America, resemble decaying shantytowns, deteriorating from within. Employment opportunities are scarce; when they do arise, the compensation is so meager that it makes work impractical. Many of us find ourselves dependent on social assistance programs designed to alleviate our struggles, often administered by politically affiliated NGOs with a strong presence in our neighborhoods.
Our dire situations have come to be seen as lucrative business prospects in America. Poverty has evolved into a commodity, maintained by a particular class of politically connected individuals in our communities. Our government facilitates and endorses this process through bureaucratic structures and charities that are complicit in this cycle as long as we, people of color, vote along the same patterns of governance and its formulation for our democratic brothers and sisters. They shout to us that we have a program for you while our poverty deepens in America.
We took a risk by supporting President Donald J. Trump, hoping he could be the X factor to transform our experience in America. While not all People of Color felt the same way, more did so than at any time in the past 60 years.
Over the past five months, cities across America have witnessed a significant decline in tent encampments, a stark contrast to the last four years. Law enforcement agencies, including the DEA, FBI, DHS, Border Patrol, CIA, and Coast Guard, have made unprecedented drug seizures, targeting cartels, drug syndicates, and money launderers. This collective effort has resulted in a more empowered police force that is actively engaging with the prosecutorial class about the impacts of catch-and-release programs. These proactive measures are making a noticeable difference, leading to safer streets and a growing sense of accountability. As we see more criminals apprehended, we are reminded of the positive strides being taken to reclaim our communities and restore order. Together, we are on a path towards a brighter, safer future for all.
I arrived in DC in January. I also come from tough beginnings; don’t be misled by my suit and friendly demeanor. In this city, an ounce of cocaine sold for $1100 and an eight-ball for $250 in January. It’s crucial to grasp the decline of regular markets and jobs that provide for citizens- these are essential for feeding, clothing, and caring for them. Unfortunately, the drug black market also fulfills these basic needs. Despite the harmful consequences of drugs in America, this industry sustains many people, spanning from urban to rural areas, among people with low incomes, working, and middle-class Americans.
Today, the price of an eight-ball of cocaine is $150, marking a $100 decrease. This situation occurs in any market due to two main factors: an oversupply. Given the current levels of drug seizures in America, it seems unlikely to improve. The second factor involves individuals wanting to get rid of their stock quickly to lay low, since the scene is dangerous. In street lingo, that indicates that law enforcement is cracking down on everyone; there’s no leniency around here. The block is hot.
We are witnessing the inspirational Trump Effect in America! It brings hope for rejuvenating our cities, barrios, ghettos, Chinatowns, and rural areas. Together, we can elevate our standards of livability and ensure that all Americans thrive. Let’s call upon our government—elected by the people, for the people—to roll up their sleeves and help reclaim our communities. It’s time to transform harsh realities into empowering actions that pave the way for a brighter future. Together, we can make a difference!
What solutions do our valued Democratic counterparts present for the challenges we face in America? In short, they focus on what is termed Trump Derangement Syndrome. Their strategy is creating a situation where America is ungovernable while advocating resistance against all outlined issues; their leading solution is to halt the Trump administration and its policies. Crime issues are attributed to the Trump administration. Drug problems are linked to Trump. Similarly, the homelessness crisis also has its roots in him. Coming from a Democratic Party that has been in power for 12 out of the last 16 years, this perspective feels hard to accept in America.
We acknowledge that democrats’ previous rhetoric, no matter how pleasing and uplifting, contributed to our decline. You denounce the controversial figure you all despise — and I choose that term deliberately; the hatred is so fierce that it justifies the destruction of Tesla and orchestrated national protests intended to disrupt America and render it ungovernable, all because Trump Derangement Syndrome appears to be the sole solution Democrats have to offer for America.
We seldom encounter alternative proposals from federal legislators, who are primarily backed by a media landscape hostile to the Trump administration and unlikely to report the truth about our situation unless it serves to fuel what is often referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome. This issue is intensified by the resistance forming within the bureaucracy, which seems to idealize the previous government structure that resulted in our current challenges, as they aim to orchestrate and engineer us towards their ambiguous objectives, the exact nature of which remains elusive.
The judiciary is now also a weaponized guerrilla movement of injunction-led initiatives aimed at halting the Trump Administration—a coup in any other form of understanding, by guess who? The overwhelming majority of Progressive, socialist, and Democratic-appointed judges in America.
This movement is supported by those who have historically viewed American taxpayers as a global ATM, drawing funds without accountability. Their discontent stems from former President Trump’s decision to end this mechanism, which was intended to encourage reform, accountability, and transparency in the allocation of taxpayer dollars for international and domestic spending purposes. Furthermore, we face the unification of authoritarian figures—dictators, communists, and theocrats—who also collaborate with influence campaigns flooding America to incite discord among the American populace and undermine the nation’s strength from within.
Social media and the internet have become battlegrounds for public discourse, where hostility often reigns. Today, many individuals feel compelled to engage in attacks against one another, fueling a pervasive cycle of negativity. Fools all.
Cancel culture is a troubling manifestation of this phenomenon, representing an unfortunate peak of human discord in America. It often serves as a weapon wielded against various identities and beliefs, targeting individuals based on their religion, sexual orientation, creed, race, age, political affiliation, and economic status. This cultural shift raises profound questions about the values we prioritize and the methods we employ to express dissent within our democratic society. As we navigate these turbulent waters, it becomes crucial to foster understanding, respect, and constructive dialogue rather than succumbing to the backlash of cancel culture.
We are experiencing what I label a perfect storm of violence and unrest in America if this continues without interruption. It’s shocking to see congressional leaders sitting on the steps for hours discussing a sit-in from my DC apartment in front of Capitol Hill, only to witness some attempt to break into federal facilities, resisting and assaulting federal agents in the process. We are all alarmed as chants resonate throughout America, declaring it’s time to punch Nazis; they are targeting half of us Americans who currently voted for the administration of President Donald J. Trump. We feel disheartened as we dehumanize one another through rhetoric from both sides of the aisle due to all of this. This chaos arises because “Trump Derangement Syndrome” seems to be the only answer that our brothers and sisters in the Democratic Party and their affiliates have for us in America.
What is happening to us as Proud Americans?
Take a deep breath, America. Many individuals from diverse backgrounds have left their homelands, where struggles similar to ours took place, to embrace opportunities in this new world—the last bastion of freedom and power for the people on Earth.
If you question whether this country embodies the spirit of free people, consider the unwavering challenges posed by the media, entrenched establishments, bureaucratic elites, and formidable opposition to President Donald J. Trump, manifesting through impeachments, criminalization, and raids.
Americans rallied to elect him again, demonstrating that this is indeed the freest nation on the planet.
The Republican side remained steadfast, while our fellow citizens in the Democratic party witnessed it unfold. Today, their leaders are striving to reverse this progress through massive resistance, the nature of which may be uncertain in terms of whether it will be peaceful or violent.
As a Republican organization representing people of color, we embrace peaceful protests and honor your voices because this is, undeniably, a free country. We are open to any constructive solutions our Democratic leaders propose to address our shared challenges—anything at all aside from Trump Derangement Syndrome. We’ve endured that narrative for a decade, yet America still chose him as president. We will no longer accept this chaos. We implore our Democratic brothers and sisters to present us with tangible solutions. The current path of division we’re on could lead us to a low-level civil conflict, and that is a direction we must avoid.
You are playing with fire when it comes to our lives. We have children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends who depend on your actions to improve our situation in America. We are Americans first, committed to making our country great again. However, our Democratic brothers and sisters are straying into territory that defies reason and logic in their quest for political dominance.
Remember, elections are significant—you emphasized this for four years after January 6th. Now, it’s time for us to remind you of that truth. Allow the man to govern America; allow him to be president. It is imperative to stop this coup, fueled by the judiciary, public unrest, and Congressional plans to use impeachment as the only remedy for America amid your ongoing Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Oh, I anticipate significant backlash for penning this article. Reason and logic hold little sway in some of us here in America when it comes to understanding the situation. Politics in America today is not just toxic; it is outright dangerous. Nonetheless, we remain vocal, advocating for peaceful and nonviolent ways to communicate within our esteemed democracy and republic as it celebrates its 250th anniversary this year. We hope to see, inshallah, another 250 years of this legacy.

Americans are no longer universally experiencing Trump Derangement Syndrome, as our colleagues in the Democratic Party seem to promote this approach as the only solution for America. This suggests that, according to various polls, half of the nation still supports President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Avoiding giving chills to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
We long for traditional John F. Kennedy Democrats.
This era of progressivism, socialism, and elements of communism raises alarming concerns in America, presenting challenges that may surpass those posed by the coronavirus pandemic. We urge you, the dedicated American citizen, to be part of the solution, as improvements are essential rather than exacerbating issues driven by hate. This summer is crucial for our democracy and the republic. Will the division prevail, or will Americans confidently reaffirm the importance of elections in the U.S.? The answer will be revealed soon, won’t it?
Choose wisely, citizen. Our economic conditions, societal problems, crime, and addictions ravage us, and we must keep our eyes on the prize.
Well, some of us, and that’s okay, America. Be Brave and Free.
Stay committed to the rider we chose for managing presidential responsibilities and overseeing our agencies during the ongoing reform, accountability, and transparency processes. We encourage you to support the Trump administration. Please be cautious, as there are individuals who are eager to attack you. They may label you a Nazi to undermine your humanity and your decisions. All that they can provide as solutions is simply Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Choose wisely, America, for the benefit of our children and yours.
Dear friends, let us come together in the spirit of peace and non-violence. We encourage you, our fellow democratic citizens, to join us in rallying behind this noble mission. As united Americans, we stand together, actively and proudly advocating for a brighter future. This embodies the American spirit—a dedication to freedom and justice in the greatest country on Earth. A new world is on the horizon, and it must reject the hate that marred the past. It is essential for the strength of political progress within America, led by our democratic compatriots. With divine inspiration, let us create a journey filled with hope and unity.
Lose your Trump Derangement Syndrome and bring us solutions, please; we beg of you all now. Play ball. Don’t burn it all down.
