Media: Donald Trump Is Gaslighting Us

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.

He doesn’t have to gaslight them. They are insane. They just don’t it.

IIRC some (legislator?) in CA is threatening to (introduce legislation?) to not enforce the law, and not send taxes to DC .

Now, what thread here did I read it on; someone quoted a tweet or link...

Ray,

Looking for the info about CA (legislator?) threatening to escalate things...

I think they were already a bit disturbed before Trump was elected.

He’s doing nothing; they may be becoming unhinged because a workaholic Republican is getting things done that they don’t agree with.

Karma. LSM has been gaslighting the American citizens for years and gaslighting Trump since day 1 of his announcement, but we are rock solid, so it’s not successful. Seditious Commie/libs are already mentally unstable.

If President Trump is driving the EniMedia insane, he is already at least a block past their destination.

Not to mention that the ENTIRE state of CA is now threatening to become a sanctuary state.

Bienvenidos Mexico y terrorist ‘refugees’.

Everything Trump is doing will no doubt stop their DC gravy train.

The leftists/Globalists/OpenBorders groups have made off, handsomely, on the backs of American taxpayer, for DECADES.

POTUS Trump/New Sheriff in Town is a threat to their very sick and corrupt existence.

Yes I’m really not sure how we’d know if they go from 100% to 110% insane, will we get a memo?
