Concerned members of the media claim that President Donald Trump is abusing them psychologically in order to drive them insane, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Pundits say that Trump and his henchman are "gaslighting" them, taking a cue from a Teen Vogue article that CNN's Don Lemon called "hard hitting." The term comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight, where a malevolent husband (Charles Boyer) tricks his wife (Ingrid Bergman) into believing she is nuts.
"[Gaslighting is] a form of psychological abuse where the victim is manipulated to doubt their own sanity," said Lauren Duca, author of the Teen Vogue article.

The Left = A group of people who have left (no longer occupy) their minds.
Trump is not tricking them at all.
They are totally insane!!!
Sing it with me: “I’m a little snowflake white and round, here are points and here...
Exactly!
Of this I have no doubt. Trump has spent his whole adult life dealing with opposition to him. That is why he is president against all odds, and the media and dems are crying with no end in sight.
Gaslighting is where you try to trick a sane person into doubting their own sanity.
The MSM is the exact opposite, they ARE mentally unstable!
Trump is trying to make them ‘see the light’.....................Maybe we should call it ‘Darklighting’.................
Now that a hilarious claim, because I already thought they are nuts before Trump even announced he was running.
No, the bogus polling and false reporting for 18 months was Gaslighting, what’s going on with leftists is their imaginary world is crumbling and they have to deal with reality and don’t know how to do it.
“The media claim that President Donald Trump is abusing them psychologically in order to drive them insane.”
Very short drive!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pepe is pleased...
Go TRUMP - MAGA
Of interest, in light of your prior discussion.
They can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.
Biggest bunch of cry bullies ever!
When they get in Trump’s (or his administration’s) face “asking” for them to denounce White Supremacists over and over and over and over...why, that’s just journalism. When Trump calls them Fake News, that’s [gasp!] “gas lighting”.
Crybullies.
Those G*d D@mned bastards have gaslighted the entire nation since at least the Tet Offensive. One of the things the nation most needs to do is to take away the power of Liberals who control the media to gaslight us.
It is hard to take any article seriously when it quotes authors from Teen Vogue.
Should be a short trip.
If so, then they are pathetic and deserve no respect.
If they were being gaslighted, they would doubt their own sanity...and that isn't happening or likely to happen.
Oh the newest victim class! Great! Add it to your collection.
