That doesn’t stand for touchdowns but for Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), a malady that afflicts the educational establishment to this day. “Some colleges responded to Trump’s victory by having cry-ins and primal screams,” George Mason University economist Walter Williams remembers. “Some provided their students with therapy dogs, coloring books, Play-Doh and videos of playful kittens and puppies, as well as serving snacks such as tea and chocolate.”

“Some college administrators encouraged or allowed faculty to cancel or postpone exams because of the election results.”
