Trump Derangement Syndrome Questionnaire

The following diagnostic test might help all citizens who are suffering from this terrible malady… Maybe you can help some friends or family with this tool.

TDS QUESTIONNAIRE V 1.0

Before you take this test, we want to stress that having a mental illness should not make you feel ashamed. Seek professional help if you experience any of the following symptoms during the assessment:

  • You start seeing Russians everywhere around you
  • You feel the need to burn buildings
  • You start convulsing uncontrollably

Question 1

Imagine one of your friends or family members saying the following:

“I’m not talking about the neo-nazis and white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

Which of the following statements is true:

a. your friend condems neo-nazis and white nationalists totally
b. your friend supports neo-nazis and white nationalists

Question 2

Donald Trump is on record saying the following words (see here for full transcript):

“I’m not talking about the neo-nazis and white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

Which of the following statements is true:

a. Donald Trump condemns neo-nazis and white nationalists totally
b. Donald Trump supports neo-nazis and white nationalists

Question 3:

Please read the following lines out loud three times (from the DJT response to the Charlottesville violence):

“So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.”

While reading these lines, did you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • A complete form of amnesia: you do not remember reading the lines above
  • Feelings of anger towards Trump supporters, Christians or law-abiding citizens in general
  • A profound feeling of despair, as if your entire world is crumbling down around you

TDS scoring:

If you answered a to question 1 and b to question 2: 4 points
For any of the symptoms in question 3: add 1 point.

Results:

1-3 points: inconclusive test
4 points: possible TDS
5-6 points: probable TDS
7 points: certain TDS

Advice:

If you score 4 points or higher, we recommend you to contact a health professional to talk about these (and probably many other) issues. Stay healthy and safe, and once more: do not feel ashamed about mental conditions (like media brainwashing) but talk about them openly. We are here to help.

Sharing is caring, comrades!
