...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?

Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.

It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.
