Do I Have Trump Derangement Syndrome?

A friend accused me of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

From immigration to healthcare, foreign aid to the erosion of empathy, I break down why I speak out against Trumpism—not because I’m obsessed, but because I believe the Gospel compels us to. We’ll talk about the politics of grievance, the cost of silence, and why loving your neighbor might mean challenging the systems that harm them.

This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about decency, truth, and whether Christianity in America can still look like Jesus.

Topics Covered:

• What is Trump Derangement Syndrome?
• Faith vs. grievance politics
• Immigration and the sin of empathy
• The Big Beautiful Bill and healthcare
• USAID, DEI, and foreign policy fallout
• Can a divisive tone ever be holy?
• Is MAGA a Christian movement—or just claiming to be?
