What Psychological Terms Characterize the Trump Presidency?

Trump’s presidency has given rise to heated discussion about a range of psychological phenomena, well beyond the debate about his own personality. The term “gaslighting” refers to the manipulative attempt to make people question their own perceptions or memory, and it has often been invoked to describe Trump’s actions and statements, especially those about “fake news.”

The question of whether or not Trump’s style could accurately be characterized as authoritarian has sparked analysis of other world leaders, past and present. Whatever one’s position on Trump and his policies, a narrow area of agreement for most Americans is that the political climate has never been more corrosive, and that it reflects, to a greater or lesser degree, Trump’s contrarian approach to leadership.

More fake news think started George Conway.

He’s “Conservative” in that he’s consistent with his attacks against the president; guy loser imo

We’re all certified Psychologists now.

Melania Trump was the only speaker that spoke to all of the country and not just Trump's base.
One of the things she was wrong was saying her husband is an honest man, we all know that isn't true.

But just about all of the other speakers so far had lied their asses off about Trump and his accomplishments or lack thereof.
Lies about Biden being a socialist is a flat out lie.
Lies about Trump doing great with the pandemic, that one was more of a joke.
Lies about taking over a failed economy is total bullshit.
And so and so on.......

So far this RNC is pretty bad with all of the lies and rhetoric. There are a few acceptations but not many.
Melania Trump just saved them at this point.

Where are the lies, @lennco?
Ms. Haley was great UN and is still competent.
She’d make fine President, unlike Harris.

Jon Ponder's story of forgiveness and redemption spoke to the whole country. Naturalization ceremony was for the whole country. Nick Sandman struggle spoke to the whole country; the persecuted and the persecutors.

Seem democrats are everything they've been accusing others of. A vote for democrats is a vote for the commie revolution.

They all spoke the truth. If you think they lied about Trump's accomplishments, list a few.

Lies about Biden being a socialist is a flat out lie.

Joe is an empty suit. Even Obama said there is little difference between him and Sanders. Bottom line, he supports the green new deal and the "cultural transformation"

Lies about Trump doing great with the pandemic, that one was more of a joke.

He's done a better job than the democrats. He was acting while your leaders were calling him racist and trying to limit his ability to enact travel bans.

Lies about taking over a failed economy is total bullshit.
And so and so on.......

Economy was recovering but not because of Barack Obama. It was because of Americans working hard despite of his policies.

We had the best economy in American history b/c of Trump's policies. The pandemic and lock down which democrats support are the reason for the retraction.

Still the #1 energy producer. Iron belt is back in business. Dairy farmers can sell to Canada. US-Canada-Mexico trade agreement.

You're pissed because that's all true. You say it's all bullshit because you can't think of anything else.

I think you're nervous because it has been so good. 1000% better than the doom, gloom, lectures and threats from the democrats.

I thought Micheal Obama was going to spit fire she was so angry. Every democrat talking at people, not too them.

 

[mr-x]

Remember four years ago when democrats were all telling us trickle down economics don't work. Only the rich would get richer? We couldn't do anything about manufacturing. Trump was gong to ruin everything?

Pres. Trump and his team made the changes needed to unburden Americans and the economy boomed. If Joe Biden is elected, all that goes away.

China will increase tariffs on our exports, start dumping steel other refined commodities to hurt our manufacturers.

Don Lemon Suddenly Decides Rioting Is Bad as the Media’s Fear Becomes Palpable [RedState]

After previously encouraging violence in the streets back in May and June, @CNN's @ChrisCuomo and @donlemon are suddenly scared that the riots are helping President Trump get reelected. "Chris, as you know and I know it's showing up in the polling." – Lemon pic.twitter.com/fzLlKyykZG

— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) August 26, 2020

Lemon’s comments show something more than just bad analysis. They show how terrified the media are all the sudden that these riots could hurt their cause. A common theme emerged on cable news yesterday and into this morning. Namely, that Biden must “address” the rioting because it’s helping Trump. That’s the only reason Lemon even cares about this stuff stopping. He saw it as a political positive for three months. Now, he sees it as a liability and is growing fearful Trump is getting a bump out of the lawlessness of Joe Biden’s voters burning cities to the ground.

Scam artist/Bernie Sanders surrogate Shaun King is using his large platform to openly call for rioting and violence in American cities. @AGHamilton29

People are getting tired of the riots. Gov needs to pour state police and more National Guard or violence will escalate.

 

[.X.]

I don't like to make predictions, but one party is either praising rioters or pretending they don't exist, and the other is condemning them. I can't imagine that many people will have trouble making a choice.

the Democrats are praising their anarchist....that and the Plandemic belongs to them

one thing that is a fact .... all the rioting ... burning and looting is happening in Blue states .... Portland’s Governor and mayor had the Fed police removed .... other democratic cities and states have denied them coming into their cities and states...

The Democrats want the civil unrest in their cities and states .... it’s pretty obvious ....

but.... absolutely... people are getting super fucking pissed off about it all ... I think that it is by design as well by the Democrats

The RNC is obliterating the DNC in terms of viewership according to The Hill, delivering six times the viewership and showing far more interest for Republicans than Democrats…and that’s on CSPAN alone:

Democrats own the violence; they funded and organized #blm. Now it's backfiring on them.

I think they thought that Republicans would come out in mass to fight these fools and they could flip it on all on Trump.... say Trump caused it all .... But they have tested the waters in Red states and got their asses whooped and sent away .... they want nothing to do with Gun states like Texas and Oklahoma as far as rioting ... looting ... burning .... they tested the waters though..... we hope they go full bat shit here... give us a reason and be in the right and we will take care of them with the quickness ..... Or.... just announce that police are standing down completely..... no arrest or jail time ... that’s completely ok for citizens to handle their business with no consequences ... then it’s open season ...

Every sane person apposes police violence / abuse. Riots are the only thing separating democrats and republicans on the issue.

What happening in Kenosha WI is grass roots anger exploited by antifa and blm from outside the city / state. Democrats encourage the violence to mobilize their base and instill fear but it's going too far.

Now the violence is getting out of control, all democrats can do now is pretend to condemn it. That will lead to a thousand videos, advertisements of democrats & media contradictions.

 

[mr-x]

Not seeing anyone from the congressional black caucus, community leaders calling for calm, peaceful protest.

Instead fringe elements of democrat leadership are calling for violence.

QAnon has a big base building up in Texas... I was told last night by a Q member that what the media is writing about them is pure bullshit , I was also told the articles saying they are on a terrorist list is completely Bogus ..... I searched FBI. Gov for even the name Q or QAnon and found nothing ..... I plan on talking to that Q member more in depth on what the org is about ....

Yes, Trump did his best to put America first, which include renegging on the new NAFTA agreement by imposing taxes after it was signed - so much for free trade, eh?

Pres. Trump and his team made the changes needed to unburden Americans and the economy boomed. If Joe Biden is elected, all that goes away.

China will increase tariffs on our exports, start dumping steel other refined commodities to hurt our manufacturers.

Just like he did to the US steel industry? Canada retaliates in kind. Americans inevitably pay the price, but Trump looks good.

Aug. 6, 2020 — U.S. President Donald Trump announces plans to reimpose a 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian aluminum, saying “Canada was taking advantage of us, as usual.” The tariff had previously been imposed in 2018 and suspended in 2019.

US accounts for 89% of Canadian steel exports. Relative to 2018, in 2019 Canada decreased steel trade with US (-20%) and increased steel trade with China (613%)

There is no new NAFTA. Trump didn't raise taxes he used retaliatory tariffs.

Just like he did to the US steel industry? Canada retaliates in kind. Americans inevitably pay the price, but Trump looks good.

Before Trump, we had no steel industry. You can go back and forth but about tariffs but Pres. Trump is using them to put America first, just like Canada does.

https://globalnews.ca/news/7258571/trump-tariffs-timeline-since-2017/

Edit: Solution - Canada decreases steel trade with US (-20%), increases steel trade with China (613%)

https://legacy.trade.gov/steel/countries/pdfs/exports-Canada.pdf

Pres. Trump's hard ball worked, Canada let American steel and dairy trade fairly.
