SF 2589 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Trump Derangement Syndrome addition to the definition of mental illness

This bill adds a fictional definition of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to Minnesota's mental health statutes. It defines the term as "acute onset of paranoia" reacting to Donald Trump's policies, with symptoms including "intense hostility" toward him and "overt acts of aggression" against his supporters. The bill amends two sections of Minnesota Statutes to include this non-clinical term in official definitions of "mental illness" and "mental health disorders." As a procedural addition with no basis in medical practice, it does not affect actual mental health care or policy.
