 What is “Trump derangement syndrome”?

Do you think he is the best fit person for the job?  Or do you just think he will pump your bags the highest?

I didn’t vote for Trump or Harris, so no hard feelings either way. 
 I voted for him to pump bitcoin. Everything else gets better downstream of a bitcoin pump. I don’t care if he keeps his promises 
 My view is he is a highly volatile and unpredictable human, which greatly increases the likelihood of nuclear war.  That’s not worth pumping my bags.

But I’m just one humble pleb and non-voter / 3rd party voter. 
 Why would billionaires risk nuking the planet when they have more to gain by staying in control rather than destroying it? 
 That assumes the man with the launch keys is a rational actor, which I do not believe him to be.  Nuclear war is just one obvious example, there are many ways he could create instability through personal revenge or some ego trip.

I’m definitely not arguing pro Kamala 🤣, just anti Trump on the basis of him not being mentally sound or rational.
