Top House Democrat Diagnoses President Trump With Laughable New ‘Derangement Syndrome’

Democrats often engage in projection; i.e., they tend to accuse their political opponents of the very behavior they exhibit.

But few do it as blatantly as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in his recent attack on President Donald Trump.

Given Jeffries’ tendency to focus an overwhelming amount of his attention on criticizing the current administration, he’s been among the many Democrats accused at various times of suffering from so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

But instead of seeking treatment, he sought to invent a new “derangement syndrome” that he conveniently also concluded the president had contracted, as Fox News reported:

Sharing a screenshot of a Trump post that called Jeffries “a Low IQ individual” and suggested he be impeached for calling the Supreme Court “illegitimate,” the Democratic leader responded with three words.

“Jeffries Derangement Syndrome,” he said.

The phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is often used by Trump supporters to describe people who vehemently oppose the president, regardless of what he is doing.

This exchange followed a Friday Truth Social post in which the president asserted, “Low IQ Democrat Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, is nothing but a THUG, and he is a danger to our Country!” The post includes a photo of the congressman holding a baseball bat.

As you might imagine, his effort to “own” President Trump didn’t exactly play out that way:

More like facts to me. Why don't you resign?

The Hill had more about Trump’s initial criticism of Jeffries’ remarks about the Supreme Court:

Last week, Jeffries called a recent Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act “unacceptable” in a press conference, while also calling the high court’s conservative majority “illegitimate.”

In a Saturday post on X, Jeffries shared a screenshot of the president’s message and mockingly wrote, “Do you need a hug? Be Best.”
