Donald Trump is a chaotic creature who demonstrates "gaslighting" symptoms

Donald Trump is mentally incompetent, but he has mastered the art of "gaslighting" as a method of deliberately creating chaos, just because he can.  Trump's behavior is increasing the risk of causing a danger to himself and others. This is an Alabama echo opinion. 

Donald Trump must be removed from the White House.

Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. It works much better than you may think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn’t realize how much they’ve been brainwashed.” - Stephanie A. Sarkis, Ph.D

11 warning signs of Gaslighting

1. They tell blatant lies.

2. They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.

3. They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.

4. They wear you down over time.

5. Their actions do not match their words.

6. They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.

7. They know confusion weakens people.


8. They project.

They are a drug user or a cheater, yet they are constantly accusing you of that. This is done so often that you start trying to defend yourself, and are distracted from the gaslighter’s own behavior.

9. They try to align people against you.


10. They tell you or others that you are crazy.

This is one of the most effective tools of the gaslighter, because it's dismissive. The gaslighter knows if they question your sanity, people will not believe you when you tell them the gaslighter is abusive or out-of-control. It's a master technique.

11. They tell you everyone else is a liar. Fake news!

Trump apparently thinks he’s a master at gaslighting (But, even if Trump is an effective "gaslighter", his erratic behavior underscores his craziness!)
