Not only used by supporters

This is not just used by his supporters. Even some people against him does it.--185.26.63.40 (talk) 10:17, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

More specifically, Trump critics often say that it's Trump's supporters who are the deranged ones. — Red XIV 01:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you I thought the exact same thing. Example: A Gary Johnson supporter (Libertarian) can still use the term and recognize who has TDS. This person by no means has to be a Trump supporter.DrDareFH (talk) 23:03, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Use of TDS isn't simply used to try to discredit criticism. It's used to describe various irrational behaviors exhibited by people who aren't making arguments beyond "I dislike Trump." Things like theft of campaign signs, theft of apparel, theft of other forms of property, assault.

Maybe add something to the initial blurb "TDS is also used to describe actions by Trump critics that others might find irrational."

The fallacy of Trump Derangement Syndrome

Most criticisms of Donald Trump leave out "the end of the sentence". By that I mean accusations are hurled around without explaining what they mean. "He's the worst president in history, (because....). He will destroy the country, (because....). etc. That gives a lot of fair-minded people the impression that these charges are just political, have little basis in fact and are just designed to destroy his presidency, and/or preserve the "Deep State" which is comprised of millions of square feet of granite edifices, and hundreds of thousands of the highest paid employees in the country: Loudoun County, Va., $129,588. Fairfax County, Va., $117,515. Howard County, Md., $115,576. Falls Church City, Va., $114,795. Arlington County, Va., $112,138. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.33.54 (talk) 16:44, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Unsigned comment by a trump supporter, not worthy oc consideration. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
