Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 245.462, is amended by adding a subdivision to
read:
Subd. 28. Trump Derangement Syndrome. “Trump Derangement Syndrome” means
the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies
and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced
general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy
differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump’s behavior. This
may be expressed by:
(1) verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Donald J. Trump; and
(2) overt acts of aggression and violence against anyone supporting President Donald
J. Trump or anything that symbolizes President Donald J. Trump.
I am not making this up.
