Newly released dash cam footage captures the arrest of South Carolina's leading Democratic gubernatorial contender in a chaotic 
encounter, during which the candidate - clad only in his underwear and shoes - hurled a profanity-laced tirade at police officers 
while proclaiming himself "God" and "Superman."

William "Mullins" McLeod, 53, is now facing calls to withdraw from the race just days after entering it, following the public 
release of footage from his May arrest.

McLeod, a top attorney in the area, was stopped in downtown Charleston while "yelling at the top of his lungs" and wearing only 
underwear and shoes, according to a police report.

Responding officers also noted that he showed signs "typical of an individual under the influence of a stimulant narcotic."

In the hour-long video obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, McLeod refuses to give officers his name, 
instead making references to his upcoming campaign and threatening to kick an opponent's "f-king teeth in." Rather than present his 
ID, the gubernatorial hopeful identifies himself only as "God" and "Superman."

"It doesn't matter, my friend, trust me," McLeod told a police officer when he was asked his name. "I'm one of the most just humans 
to ever walk this soil. Superman sounds good."

McLeod also appeared to threaten political rivals who might challenge him in the gubernatorial race. At one point, the Democratic 
candidate shouted, "I'm gonna kick your f-king teeth in," seemingly directed at Republican Attorney General Alan Wilson, who 
announced his own run for governor earlier this year.

During the chaotic arrest, McLeod was heard using the n-word at least twice and later refused to exit the patrol car upon arriving 
at the jail, telling officers he would rather sleep in the back.

"No, I'm not doing it, no. I'm not getting out of this car. It's time to go to bed," he shouted at an officer. Eventually, he was 
dragged out of the police vehicle and booked into jail shortly after 1 a.m., the New York Post reported.

The police report noted that McLeod's eyes were "extremely bloodshot and highly dilated ... typical of an individual under the 
influence of a stimulant narcotic." It's not clear if he was allegedly taking an illegal substance.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
