The Trump Administration Has A Bad Case Of Biden Derangement Syndrome

Trump Derangement Syndrome is fictional, but the Trump administration is acting deranged and blaming Joe Biden for everything in a bid to deny their own failures.

If you have ever said a critical word about Donald Trump on the internet, it doesn’t take long before someone replies, accusing the critic of having Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS.

Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn’t exist. It’s not a real thing, but that hasn’t stopped the president and his administration from using it to brush off criticism.

There does seem to be a problem in the United States with a derangement syndrome, but it is not people who are deranged over Donald Trump.

It is the Donald Trump administration’s derangement over Joe Biden.

For example, after Spirit Airlines went out of business because the Trump administration couldn’t or wouldn’t find a way to save 17,000 jobs, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, “I think it's important to talk about why we are here today? There was a proposed merger between JetBlue and Spirit, and Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, along with the Biden DOJ decided that they did not want that merger to take place.”

It didn’t matter to Duffy that the CEO of Spirit Airlines said that Trump’s Iran war was the final straw that put the airline under. To the Trump administration, the demise of Spirit was all the fault of a man who left office almost a year and a half ago.

This was not an isolated incident. The Trump administration was blaming Biden for more of its failures on Monday.
