A bill that was introduced by Minnesota Senate Republicans to define so-called "Trump derangement syndrome" as a mental illness has provoked a backlash, with some saying the bill trivializes mental health care in the state regardless of the seriousness of its original intent.

Five Republican Minnesota state senators are pushing for the term to be included in the state's definition of mental illness.

Five Republican lawmakers in the Minnesota Senate are set to introduce a bill on Monday to designate “Trump derangement syndrome” as a legitimate mental illness in the state. “Trump derangement syndrome” is a term frequently used by President Donald Trump and Trump supporters.
