Mental health professionals continue to argue that Donald Trump’s behaviors are part of what they call “malignant narcissism” syndrome.
It is commonly known as gaslighting, the psychological manipulation by narcissists to make their victims question their own reality, memory and perceptions.
Everything that goes bad for Trump, he gaslights his moronic followers by blaming the "bad" on Democrats and also on Republicans who get tired of him. For example, Trump says that there is no real affordability crisis; it's a hoax cooked up by democrats even though his own morons out in the boonies of America are suffering from his inane policies.
Psychologists say Trump applies a tactic known as: DARVO: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. This way, he thinks he can avoid responsibility and acccountability. He first denies, then attacks the opponent by reversing the roles to portray himself as the victim and the opponent as the criminal. He learned DARVO from Roy Cohn, his mentor.
Another example is how Trump made the case for his tariffs on other countries by saying that it was these other countries who have abused, exploited and humiliated America. So he imposes tariffs to punish them. He's done it with women who accused him of sexual abuse. He's doing it now by blaming Ukraine for having been invaded by his fellow criminal Putin.
In their 100-year history of raping Palestine, Trump's Zionist friends have excelled at DARVO. Israel is the only foreign colonial invader that continues to claim it is a victim of its own indigenous Palestinian victims. Israel is in fact the last colonizer to still be extant some 80 years after the dismantling of all colonial empires.Psychologists further say that DARVO puts the real victim on the defensive and makes them feel like they need to explain themselves, defend themselves or question themselves. Throw just enough doubt around and the victim is made to be culpable in public opinion while the perpetrator is given some leeway and becomes the victim, which allows them to continue their harmful behavior because they now see themselves as wronged or victimized.”
Another absurd example of the Trump administration using DARVO was back in January when Renée Good and Alex Pretti were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. JD Vance called Good a “domestic terrorist” and reposted a social media post that described Pretti as an “assassin.
