For every R running around, trying to defend Trump, calling him great, calling him a leader, calling him whatever version of presidential-ness, really?
I mean, really?
He’s a narcissist. Period. And narcissists gaslight — ALL THE TIME. They don’t know anything but gaslighting and saying the most contradictory, unbelievable BS and presenting it as reality … because it’s what they believe. (Narcissists do not — I repeat, do not — live in the World of Truth and Facts, for such pesky little details would poke holes in their False Self Identity.)
So, here’s The Gaslighter in Chief today, claiming Biden’s pardons — all of them — are revoked because he used an “autopen” (you know, those electronic signature things. Claims The Gaslighter in Chief: Biden didn’t sign them, *didn’t know anything about them* (the pardons). The pardons weren’t approved by Biden, and the documents weren’t explained to him.
Says The Gaslighter in Chief: “He knew nothing about htem, and the people that (sic) did may have committed a crime.”
Now, narcissists can really dig some revenge tactic, particularly revenge on anyone who deigns (or in The Gaslighter in Chief’s case, _dares_) to go against him — in any manner, for any reason — is The Enemy.
Why? You have to, have to, have to understand that Trump’s personality construct is that of a narcissist. Period. He will never not be a narcissist. He can’t put his narcissism aside for a moment in the face of logic, truth, common sense and especially not kindness.
Narcissists must destroy or delegitimize anyone who calls them out, calls out their lies, calls out their BS. And with The Gaslighter in Chief, anyone who deigns, or dares, to say anything other than glowing BS about him is The Enemy.
Confused about what gaslighting is?
It’s emotional and psychological abuse in the form of manipulating information as to make another doubt their own knowing, truth, experience, feelings, reality, etc.
For Trump,
For Leavitt,
For Fox News,
Or anyone other individual or organization to amplify Trump’s gaslighting, you are just as culpable of spreading the lies and exacerbating The Gaslighter in Chief’s manner of denying truth.
Who could EVER believe — ever?????? — that President Biden was not aware of pardoning his son? Or the J6 committee?
Seriously? Who could even spend two seconds of their life believing a claim like that?
It’s such an utterly preposterous claim. And there’s proof /trump’s claims are BS.
And, yet, rather than Rs getting their thinking caps on, they go, “Trump is a great president. He’s such a great leader. He’s mega-maga macho. Yay!”
He’s an ass.
But, hey, lots of people are asses, right?
Trump is a specific type of ass *and* he’s a narcissist. He deflects through lies. (Oh, and do — yes, do! — note: Projection and blaming others for something is the closest thing you’ll ever get to a confession of any culpability or wrong-doing from a narcissist. So the more a narcissist accuses another of doing something, the greater chance they are doing that same thing.
Here’s another smidge of the gaslighting in his tweet/post included below:
“The fact is, they were probably … ”
See that? Maybe you’ve gotten so used to /trump’s incessant gaslighting that you just blew right over those words, but read them again: “The fact is” followed by “they were probably … .”
This isn’t just Mr. Thought-Salad in Chief in a bad mood and ready for a late-night social media rumble. This is what narcissists alway do and what /trump exemplifies every time he opens his mouth to speak longer than 27 seconds: they say one thing, then in the same minute, say the opposite. That’s gaslighting. You can never know truth around them, for their is no truth other than their truth.
And one more li’l tidbit for the /trump-lovin’ Rs: With this very false and very BS claim /trump is making in saying all Biden’s pardons (and whatever else he wants to heap onto that list) are null and void because Biden used an “autopen” signature? Hah, well /trump’s pardoning the treasonous J6 folks were all done by “autopen,” so I guess their pardons are invalid.
Narcissists gaslight.
/trump gaslights (constantly, all the time … probably even in his dreams).
Ergo, /trump is a narcissist.
Narcissists can never (ever!) be trusted to have anyone else’s (or any country’s) interests at heart. They just can’t. Their only-only-only goal is to defend The False Self and to destroy enemies who don’t believe the glory of their False Self.
If you can’t see the narcissist that he is, you might be in the cult. And being in a cult is never a good thing — for you, at least. (It’s a great thing for the cult leader to have believers a-plenty.)
Look. Pause. Think.
It’s all right there: He’s the Gaslighter in Chief.
