I have a proposal. But first, a definition:

megalomania /mĕg″ə-lō-mā′nē-ə, -mān′yə/

noun A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions. A form of mental alienation in which the patient has grandiose delusions.

I propose we collectively coin the term MAGAlomaniac. It’s an offshoot of megalomaniac, but for those who follow MAGA.

I tried to type out 'megalomaniac' and unintentionally misspelled it as 'magalomaniac' in a comment i made somewhere yesterday.

Went back to my comment, noticed this, and then realized... no, wait, this is a good misspelling, and wrote an addendum.

I entirely support 'magalomaniac' and 'magalomania' as terms, lets get them in the DSM 6.

Aside for Psychologists

(And before a psych major or phd says 'DSM V is the last DSM edition!'... no, its not, otherwise the TR version of V wouldn't ... be a thing... arguably it is the DSM 6...)
