TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

by Bill Kochman

03-19-2025

It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome,
Yes indeed, what a very terrible disease,
Once that wicked thing gets a hold of you,
It’s surely worse than some dog with fleas.

It burrows rather deeply within your mind,
Until it fully controls every single thought,
Then suddenly before you even realize it,
You’re spewing forth all kinds of liberal rot.

The minute you hear that forbidden name,
Like Pavlov’s dog you become activated,
Regardless of what the President may say,
It reminds you of everything you’ve hated.

TDS behaves very much like a mental filter,
What you heard is not even what was said,
Because it distorts everything around you,
My friend, it totally messes with your head.

Squawking like some African Gray parrot,
All you simply do is repeat your party’s line,
You are just their mindless, obedient robot,
Programmed according to their own design.

So sure, go ahead scream, whine and rant,
And make a darn fool of yourself if you will,
But know that as far as we are concerned,
You are really just another Democratic shill.
