It seems that it requires a somewhat deranged mindset to post - as a fluffy, out-of shape sexual abusing convicted felon - an A.I.-generated pic of oneself decked out with rippling muscles and holding his big red stick. Bonus derangement points for not remembering that red lightsabers were the trademark weapon of the Sith, if I remember correctly.

Yes, this is how Trump and his followers envision themselves.

Between the image itself, the text that accompanied it, and the fact that the leader of a modern country posted it on his official social media account, there’s definitely some derangement happening here.

That is such a silly image that I thought it beyond comment. Hound has proposed that people may, if sufficiently willing and eager may undergo treatment after which this image will create admiration hope and a desire to join.
Taking that pill leads to....?

You know what would be really deranged? Posting an A.I. image of him as the Pope! Now *that* would be something, eh? Wait -- my PM folder is exploding.

Pope Fondle 1.

Yeah, this looks a bit deranged.

A minor criticism: they have him holding up the wrong finger.

Every time someone says 'TDS' an angel gets its wings.

Canpakes: put yourself in their shoes. Try to draw an unbroken line from the 'law and order' and 'family values' Republican party to the Republican party of today -- but there's a catch! -- your explanation cannot include 'loss of moral compass' or 'we didn't really mean it in the first place.'

You see the problem, yes? It's an untenable position. So when someone observes that the Emperor is naked, suggesting that they suffer from TDS is a perfectly natural coping mechanism. And a relatively benign one at that -- much better than shooting up a school, at any rate.

I think we are meant to assume the homoerotic themes in MAGA art are unintentional. Well, mostly unintentional. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I've been on a wild 10 day internet treasure hunt looking for a cure for Trump derangement syndrome!
I suppose your answer is: Quit saying bad things about my boy.

The trouble is, Trump will never stop saying and doing outrageous things.

TDS is a massive case of projection. Write that down.
