Columnist and commentator Peter Hitchens has rejected accusations of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," asserting that the real problem lies not with critics but with a failure by many in the media, politics, and the international community to confront what he describes as an "increasingly dangerous and worrying" U.S. President.

In his commentary, Hitchens contends that the suggestion of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is an insult used to dismiss concerns about the President of the United States. He urges a shift in perception, stating, "Stop pretending Trump is a joke. It's time to take it seriously."

Hitchens' remarks indicate a call for a more serious and unified global response to the actions and influence of the U.S. President, challenging the tendency to downplay or dismiss his impact.
