The way to say it is "tedious: which is an accurate description of the mindless maga use of this logical fallacy..
It is in fact a political, not medical, invention by right-wing lickspittle charles krauthammer for george w bush ( the war criminal who illegally invaded irag )and dutifully modified when the hapless frump was re-elected hilariously promising to "bring prices down" by..er..imposing a tax on imports.. ha ha ha..good one donald..some people will believe anything
"..Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump that are characterized as irrational and disconnected from Trump's actual policy positions. The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world, thus making TDS a logical fallacy. Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump's statements and actions. The term has also come to be used to describe the nature of Trump supporters in their unwavering support of the president.
Despite the usage of the term syndrome suggesting a medical condition, TDS is not an official medical diagnosis.Trump derangement syndrome is not recognized as a legitimate mental disorder by any version or draft of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association or by law in any U.S. state.
The origin of the term is traced to Charles Krauthammer, a conservative political columnist, commentator, and psychiatrist, who coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That "syndrome" was defined by Krauthammer as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush".
Similarly, conservative activist David Horowitz used the phrase "Obama derangement syndrome" to compare "over-the-top hysteria" in the criticism offered by sections of the right-wing commentariat regarding Barack Obama following the latter's election as president to Bush derangement syndrome, citing comparisons of Obama to Stalin, David Koresh, Charles Manson and Saddam Hussein, although Krauthammer disagreed with Horowitz's use of the phrase.Horowitz particularly applied the phrase to those who advocated "birtherist" conspiracy theories that claimed Obama was not a native-born United States citizen. Ezra Klein has argued that whilst those accused of Bush derangement syndrome was inspired by opposition to Bush's policies, those acccused of Obama Derangement Syndrome were driven by reactions to Obama as an individual, in particular his race and Kenyan heritage, and a feeling among some conservatives that these made him un-American.
The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to "Ruling Class Republicans" who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.
According to The Independent, "the highly-politicized term" was coined to dismiss criticism of Trump in his first term as liberal hysteria, suggesting that people abandon all logic and reason due to their dislike of the president.

this illumination will of course not stop the intellectually challenged deluded acolytes of the great man invoking this logical fallacy any time someone dares to criticise his great wisdom and boundless humanity
