During a White House event on May 11, President Donald Trump said critics, including Democrats, suffered from "Trump derangement syndrome," going as far as calling it an actual disease.
Trump made the comments during an event focusing on new maternal health initiatives, including the launch of Moms.gov, which the Trump administration said is designed to provide resources for expecting mothers.
The president said Democrats who voted against his spending package in 2025 did so out of what he called "Trump derangement," adding that they "couldn’t even see straight" because of it.
"They've got serious Trump derangement, which actually is a disease. I'm hearing it is actually a disease. It's an honor," Trump said.
Following Trump's comments, the White House posted on X a faux prescription to treat the non-existent condition, advising people to trust in Trump, listen to the national anthem, limit the consumption of "fake news" and caution against being a "panican" — a term Trump coined in April 2025 for what he called "weak and stupid" people.
