Minnesota Senator Arrested After Introducing Bill to Classify 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' as Mental Illness

Justin Eichorn, one of the bill's co-authors, was arrested for allegedly soliciting a minor for sex, prompting calls for his resignation.

Minnesota Republican lawmakers introduced a bill to classify 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as paranoia triggered by Donald Trump's presidency.
The bill, co-authored by five Republican senators, has been criticized as wasteful, trivializing mental health issues, and unlikely to pass due to the Democratic majority in the state senate.
Justin Eichorn, a co-author of the bill, was arrested in Bloomington after allegedly arranging to meet someone he believed to be a 16-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover police officer.
The Minnesota Senate Republican Caucus has called for Eichorn's immediate resignation, stating he needs to focus on his family and legal challenges.
The arrest and controversial bill have drawn national attention, intensifying scrutiny of Minnesota Republicans' legislative priorities and conduct.
