Donald Trump won't stop using a technique psychologists associate with narcissists [View all]
For years, mental health professionals have argued that President Donald Trumps behaviors, which some have called malignant narcissism, are a detriment to the nation.
Much has been written about the presidents tendency to gaslight ― a form of psychological manipulation weaponized by narcissists to make victims question their own reality, memory and perceptions.
Most recently, some have said that Trump has tried to gaslight the American people into believing that there is no real affordability crisis (hes called it a hoax cooked up by the Democrats), despite widespread concerns about the rising cost of living and his running on a platform heavily focused on bringing down prices. (In spite of that, energy bills have increased as much as 13% since Trump took office.)
But psychologists say theres another classic narcissist tactic that Trump appears to employ with alarming frequency thats less talked about: DARVO: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.

Outside of the hardcore MAGA I don't think Trump will be able to gaslight anyone into thinking affordability is not a problem.
