Psychotherapist Opens Up About Trump Derangement Syndrome
David Strom  8:00 AM | December 04, 2025
 
Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal telling us what most of us already knew: Trump Derangement Syndrome is actually a real thing.
 

He was not trying to make a political point, but rather to explain that in his practice, about 75% of his patients are experiencing an obsession with Donald Trump that is warping their lives.

Is “Trump derangement syndrome” real? No serious mental-health professional would render such a partisan and derogatory diagnosis. Yet I’ve seen it in my own psychotherapy practice. Patients across the political spectrum have brought Donald Trump into therapy not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread. Their distress is symptomatic, not ideological.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Yup, it's real.  I've seen it in liberal extended family members.  It's a mix of obsession, anxiety, and delusion.  An Orange Boogeyman lives inside their heads.
