I think it comes from Putin, or is being stoked by Putin. It’s got KGB written all over it.

Read my #14, above…

*Great* link. Gaslighting. Never thought of it that way (I just classed it as ‘lying’ but as a strategy gaslighting is a more complete description of what the warthog is doing.

Didn’t say he’d do it. He never does anything (except tell tall tales). It’s his politburo and the assorted henchmen he’s going to appoint.

They have axes to grind and malevolent ideologies. Trump may not be ideologically driven, but they sure are.

I’m sure Bannon will be gleefully setting up “death panels” that the R’s were going on about 6 years ago.

Nah, Trump is a coward. He’d egg on others (and eggy fart on them) to do it, but he’s too scared to do it himself.

Remember, he’s in it to inflate his ego and pump-and-dump the USA. Remember how he’s run his other companies. Just don’t expect to get paid at the end, but he’s not here to kill, just make a shitload of money, blame everyone else for the failure and thank himself for any accidental success.

Um, no, I was thinking more of the Zyklon B variety of gassing. We’re “social undesirables”, remember…

I suppose if we’re “merely lucky”, Trump will follow the lead of his Soviet handlers instead, and we’ll end up in a gulag somewhere in the cold, deserted western reaches (or N central Alaska).

Well, when he gasses, it’s the best gassing you ever seen, it’s beautiful, a YUGE rasping blow. It’ll blow your mind, it’s amazing how well the wind escapes. He’ll make America trump all the time!

The term comes from the 1930s play “Gas Light” and the 1940s Hollywood movie version (Gaslight) in which a manipulative husband tries to unmoor his wife, played by Ingrid Bergman, by tampering with her perception of reality. He dims the gaslights and then pretends it’s only she who thinks they are flickering as the rooms grow darker.

How much time between being gaslighted and being gassed?

Or he’s so crazy that he auto-gasses all the time.

But the point is mostly his adherents who think that he’s a straight-talker. They follow this as valid as well.

It’s called “gaslighting”. Trump is an expert at it.

For all his and his acolytes’ claims that he’s a straight talker and doesn’t say what he doesn’t mean, he certainly frequents the “I didn’t say that” “defence”.

“Grabbed her by the pussy” becomes “I never said I did it, it was just ‘locker room talk’,so I never said it”.

Spazzing out “You should look at this guy” becomes “I never dissed a disabled reporter, I’ve used the paraplegic diss against ABLED people!”.
