Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former running mate, Nicole Shanahan, recently lampooned the left with a satirical video advertisement about “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“My team never sleeps,” Shanahan wrote when she posted the video to X. The spoof ad is styled like a typical pharmaceutical commercial and opens with a shot of families watching videos of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS, otherwise known as Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the narrator asks. When Trump flashes on the screen, a woman’s facial expression turns into a snarl. When Harris flashes on the screen moments later, another woman is all smiles and mouths the word, “Yes!”

“Do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing our country, such as historic inflation, illegal immigration, corporate corruption, WWIII escalations, and the chronic disease epidemic,” the narrator asks. “Are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history and who offers no policy or vision for America, simply because your brain keeps telling you ‘anyone but Trump?'”

“If so, you might be struggling from TDS,” the narrator concludes.

Then, a satirical drug called “Independence” is introduced, which promises to help consumers “finally think independently once again.”

Some of the benefits of Independence purportedly include “constructive critical thinking” instead of “believing everything you hear from the mainstream media.”

What follows is a series of user testimonials showing how Independence helped them realize the mainstream media is “run by the Democrat elite” and how social media is censored. On this latter point, the video pauses for a moment on an image of Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, who recently admitted to cooperating with federal government efforts to censor speech critical of COVID lockdowns.

The advertisement, which has been seen on X over 5 million times, garnered a large response from viewers.

Donald Trump Jr. responded with just one word. “Amazing,” he said.

“Wonderful to see @RepThomasMassie make a cameo,” anti-COVID mandate crusader Dr. Mary Talley Bowden responded, referencing the brief appearance of the Kentucky congressman.

“Great work Nicole…!” Gunther Eagleman posted.
