The "derangement syndrome" political phrase was actually coined in 2003 during the Bush administration by political commentator Charles Krauthammer about critics of President George W. Bush. The Minnesota bill borrows the exact phrasing Krauthammer used to describe "Bush derangement syndrome," which reads: "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush."
