Trump Derangement Syndrome crypto falls 20% amidst stock market crash

The pump.fun meme coin, Trump Derangement Syndrome crypto, plummeted more than 18% following the stock market crash believed to be the result of Trump introducing trade tariffs.

The TDS token fell more than 20% on April 7 at around 8:15 AM UTC after the Asian, European and U.S. markets saw sharp declines in stocks. The crypto market also mirrored the economic volatility in traditional markets as major coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) plummeted.

At press time, the Trump Derangement Syndrome crypto has recovered slightly from the fall. It is down by more than 15% and is currently trading hands at $0.00011. The token recently reached its all-time low last month when it fell to $0.0001051. At a difference of only 2%, the token is inching dangerously towards its all-time low.

Since then, it has accumulated a measly market cap of only $107,597 and a 24 hour trading volume of only $1.63.

It is named after the buzzword “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” which is described as “a mental condition where individuals are said to be driven to irrational behavior due to their intense dislike of Donald Trump.” However, it has fallen even further down since Trump introduced his Liberation Day tariffs. In the past week, the token has gone down by 30.5%.

On the same day as TDS’ recent drop, the global stock markets have experienced sharp declines ranging from 10% to 50% since Trump announced tariffs on U.S. imports for products coming from more than 180 countries and regions. On the other hand, the crypto market suffered similar losses, with the overall crypto market cap dropping nearly 11% to $2.49 trillion.
