First National TDS Poll and DSM Proposal Unveiling

On October 28, 2026, the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. will host a groundbreaking event focusing on the first-ever public opinion poll investigating the phenomenon referred to as "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS). Credentialed members of the media will be invited to attend this exclusive briefing featuring insights from leading professionals in the fields of psychology, journalism, and public affairs.

Dr. Carole Lieberman, a nationally recognized psychiatrist and known as "America's Psychiatrist," will present the poll findings alongside her proposal for consideration in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The event promises to stir conversation around the implications of this syndrome, especially in the context of American politics and social dynamics.

This initiative arises from a need to assess the societal impacts of political divisions, particularly how they affect families, public discourse, and behaviors leading up to the critical 2026 midterm elections. The poll, conducted by TechnoMetrica/TIPP, will delve into whether TDS truly exists and its perceived consequences.

Event Highlights

The engaging program will feature a panel discussion moderated by Kevin Corke, a Senior National Correspondent for Fox News and a former correspondent for CBS News and ESPN. Corke will lead discussions with a host of esteemed panelists:

• - Miranda Devine: Columnist and investigative journalist for the New York Post
• - Tom Bevan: Co-Founder and President of RealClearPolitics
• - Alex Swoyer: Editor-at-Large and legal affairs correspondent for The Washington Times
• - Steve Gruber: Host of The Steve Gruber Show
• - Chanel Rion: Primetime host on One America News Network

The ensemble will provide critical analysis of the polling data, synthesizing expert commentary to help attendees better understand TDS's implications for contemporary society and politics.

Engaging with the Audience

Attendees will have the unique chance to participate in a Q&A session as well, allowing them to engage directly with the panelists. The event seeks not only to inform but to foster a broader discussion on how political narratives can influence mental health and social stability.
