Arizona Republican Calls for Study of Criticism of Trump
Senate Bill 1070 would require Arizona health officials to study the origins and effects of an unofficial syndrome blamed for political violence, with a one-year report deadline.
- On Monday, State Sen. Janae Shamp filed Senate Bill 1070 directing the Arizona Department of Health Services to study `Trump Derangement Syndrome` and report in one year on its origins and effects.
- Following efforts in Minnesota and federally, Arizona Republicans filed a similar measure ahead of the 2026 legislative session, with registered nurse Shamp introducing it as Republican messaging.
- The bill directs ADHS to study origins, manifestations and to identify early documented cases and political polarization factors, while Shamp defines TDS as intense criticism or adoration of Trump, per Senate Bill 1070.
- With Gov. Katie Hobbs in office, observers say the measure is unlikely to be signed and likely to be vetoed as Will Humble called it silly and predicted resource waste.
- Context-first: Observers say the measure risks politicizing public-health agencies and echoes Republican proposals elsewhere, with potential shifts in gubernatorial control making similar bills law.
