Trump Diagnoses Musk With Trump Derangement Syndrome After He Unfollows Stephen Miller

TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome is an interesting malady. It’s a diagnosis that is applied to anybody who disagrees with Donald Trump, let alone loathes and despises him. And maybe that makes sense on a certain level. Think of it this way. Trump is the charismatic cult leader and you’re either all in for him, no matter how insane he is, or you suffer from TDS and you’re the enemy. There is no centrist position. And so now the enemy is Elon Musk. Fascinating. What will be more fascinating is if Musk decides to hold fast to his declaration that he’s going to “fire” any Republicans who vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Trump on Musk: I think he misses the place. He’s not the first. People leave my administration. And then at some point, they miss it so badly. And some of them embrace it. And some of them actually become hostile. It’s sort of Trump derangement syndrome pic.twitter.com/HXAlZJc2uW

And it gets more comical still. Musk has unfollowed Stephen Miller. Whether that’s because he’s schtupping Miller’s wife, we do not pretend to know. What we do know is that politics makes for strange bedfellows and it looks like Musk has decided to get under the covers with us. Hey, if he wants to destroy the OBBBA and if he wants to go after Republicans in 2026, I can make room. Just don’t eat any crackers, Elon, okay? Daily Beast:

I’ll be honest—I don’t care who’s schtupping who. I don’t care if Glenn Greenwald has a sex tape. I don’t care that Sen. Joni “We are all going to die” Ernst allegedly slept with an Air Force general lobbying her committee. Or that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene allegedly had an affair with her Crossfit instructor—and, as The Daily Mail described him, a “tantric sex guru.” I don’t care that Corey Lewandowski and Sec. Kristi Noem, both married, have allegedly been carrying on a very public dalliance. And I don’t care who Rep. Lauren Boebert is fondling at any given cultural institution. I support folks getting freaky in the style and manner of their choosing. It’s none of my business and I shouldn’t even be writing about it.

Except that it’s so damned funny.

These people, these grotesque MAGA tryhards worshipping at the feet of their adulterer-in-chief, deserve whatever mockery is heading their way. Not because it’s an effective political ploy. Not because doing so will make a single American’s life any better. But because, while they have no shame, they hate being laughed at. Hate it.

Which is why you can shoot all of that stuff straight into my veins. And sure, put some of that Covid-killing bleach in too—at this point I’m here for all of it.

I’m here for these pompous gasbags getting lit up for their lies and hypocrisy. I’m here for the jokes the Millers and Musk will be enduring from late-night comics, just as I was a ready and willing participant in the “JD Vance diddles couches” discourse that brought some much-needed comic relief to a grim presidential campaign.

Can we say with full confidence Vance never went full hillbilly elegy on a sofa crack? I mean, he has never outright denied it. Can we say for sure that this West Wing polycule is just the stuff of nightmares? To date, neither Musk nor the Millers have commented either. We just don’t know.

What we do know is that this schism between Musk and Trump isn’t doing Trump  or the Republicans any good. And that was foreseeable. But the Republicans refuse to look at it, because the only way they’re surviving the Era of Trump is to pretend that everything is the way it was before Trump and not cobblestones in the road to the destruction of the party.

We don’t know what’s going to happen in 2026 and at this point it’s too early to hazard a guess. But with Musk going for Republican throats it is possible that the Senate could be retaken by Democrats. Not saying it’s probable, but it has moved into the plausible column. Musk is out for blood.
