ST. PAUL, Minn. – Anyone who opposes President Trump is mentally ill, according to a bill introduced by five Republicans in the Minnesota Senate. They call it Trump Derangement syndrome. They would add it the state’s list of mental disorders. Is this tongue in cheek? Or for real? It’s hard to tell. Among sponsors is Steve Drazkowski, a Mazeppa Republican, who can be both humorless and whacky.Sponsors besides Drazkowski: Justin Eichorn of Grand Rapids, Glenn Gruenhagen of Glencoe, Eric Lucero of St. Michael, ad Nathan Wesenberg of Little Falls. The bill was assigned to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.
Verbatim
