Honored for having the courage to embrace his diagnosis. Trump Derangement Syndrome, he stated, is a “horrific, consuming disease” that keeps him up at night, and, if he could, he would take a pill to…make it worse? “I got it, and I want it, and I want it to get worse,” he said, floating a “pharmacological intervention” and setting his recovery for “22:00 hours, 3 November 2026,” which is to say election night. A strategist who built a career telling his party to talk about the voters’ problems can’t seem to stop talking about his own.
“I got a disease, I like the disease, and I’m gonna keep it. I hope I get rid of it sometime around, oh, I don’t know, 22:00 hours, 3 November 2026.”
