Trump Derangement Syndrome

Canada only imports people that cannot read and write their own language.

Is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome enough to seek and be granted asylum in Canada.

No — that would not qualify.

Canada grants asylum or refugee status only under very narrow grounds:
  • A Convention refugee is someone who has a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

  • A person in need of protection is someone at risk of torture, cruel or unusual punishment, or a threat to life if returned to their country.
Disliking or being psychologically distressed by a political figure such as Donald Trump — sometimes humorously called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” — does not meet the legal definition of persecution. Canadian immigration authorities would treat it as a political opinion or personal dislike, not evidence of systemic persecution or danger.

For asylum, an American citizen would need to demonstrate something far more serious:
  • They are being specifically targeted by the U.S. government or groups in a way that constitutes persecution.

  • They cannot receive protection from U.S. courts, laws, or institutions (which, for Americans, is almost impossible to argue).
In practice, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada has consistently rejected asylum claims from U.S. citizens unless they involve highly unusual and extreme circumstances (for example, cases of severe domestic violence where U.S. authorities could not or would not protect the claimant).

So in short: no, suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is not remotely enough to seek or be granted asylum in Canada.
