A new classification of "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Classic" is introduced to describe extreme emotional reactions to Donald Trump's re-election.

This phenomenon is attributed to heavy media influence and deep-seated political anxiety.

"New TDS" is defined as the internal conservative backlash and skepticism toward Donald Trump’s recent cabinet picks.
