As we all know by now, there’s been a frenzy to name things after President Trump, or to put his scowling face on all manner of things: the Trump Kennedy Center, the Donald J. Trump International Airport, Trump banners on Federal buildings in DC, the President Donald J. Trump Ballroom (at the White House), Limited Edition Passports with Trump’s picture, the Trump one dollar coin, etc., etc., etc. But not enough has been done to explore the possibility of naming anatomical, medical, cognitive, or emotional conditions after the Dear Orange Leader.
This would be a fun group project! I’ll start.
Trump Male Genitalia Irregularis: for a toadstool-shaped, rather small male member;
Trump MaybelleneTM Manus Hematoma Dyschromia: for splotchy bruised hands;
Trump Narcissistic Disorder: no explanation necessary;
Trump Compulsive Kleptomania: for compulsive grifting;
Trump Crowd Hyperbole Disorder: for the compulsive over-estimation of crowd sizes;
Trump-Dunning-Kruger Disorder: here, I am merely proposing that we add Trump’s name to the well-known Dunning-Kruger effect, just as Trump and his supporters want to add him to Mount Rushmore;
Trump Delayed Complexity Recognition Disorder: for the repeated experience of discovering after-the-fact that something turned out to be much more complicated or problematic than the person suffering from the disorder initially thought (examples include Trump’s frustrations with health care reform during his first term (“Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated”) and, of course, the Iran nuclear situation and the Strait of Hormuz); and, of course,
Trump Evil Agent Deflection Disorder: for compulsive blaming of others when, as everyone but the sufferer expected, things go wrong due to bad planning or the sufferer’s hubris (examples include blaming Dominion voting machines and now China for the 2020 election and blaming vandals for the Reflecting Pool debacle).
There no doubt are many other syndromes that could be named after Trump. Certainly there must be some variety of dementia that physicians could identify and honor with Trump’s name.
But this is intended just to be a start. Feel free to offer your own suggestions.
