Said the asshole POTUS whom lied his way through his campaign and even when he won lied about pop vote and EC margin and turnout to his Inauguration.

Trump, " The Patriots beat the Falcons in a landslide widest margin of victory in Super Bowl history".

Ask us if we give a shit Trump. Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him to be a fucking lying ass hateful bullshit artist. Boo and fucking hoo.

Gaslighting has come such a long ways since the mover. Inb4 it means exactly what racist, sexist, misogynist, whate male means.

The things Psych 101 has done.

And Brian, unlike ABBA: at least the president has actually won at something. A lot of things, actually. Infact, just can't seem to stop winning. It's getting out of control! OH MY GOD! I AIN'T NEVER SEEN NOTHIN LIKE IT! Impressive length!? We've won so much I'm just so so tired of winning already! (i'm not)

Donald Trump is actually two midgets in a human skin suit that sat out in the sun too long. Bare assertions are fun!

And can it really be considered gaslighting when your victims are just lemmings ready to be led off of a cliff?

Seriously guys, though. What's up with this gaslighting thing? Did a Gaslight 2: The Redefinening happen to hit some dank theatre near me?

Uh yeah, sort of. Gaslighting is a term in the poli sci community to describe the way populist leaders try to totally discredit the media so that the people get their information directly from the leader.

What is he supposed to do - tell everyone that the media that hates him is justified in hating him lol? The media seeks to discredit him and so he will seek to discredit them. Makes sense to me. I mean he could just go full dictator and ban all media that isn't government

Trump is why having biased news organizations is a bad idea. Sure, the viewership skyrockets, and it gives the viewers and readers a safe place to spout whatever opinion, but 1. You lose the middle ground (the old safe space for healthy discord), and 2. When the leader is actually batshit crazy, the effect of calling the leader out is deminished when you've said the same thing about every other candidate opposite your bent. And hell why not a 3. Your organization becomes an easy target and fuel for gaslighting.

He tries to discredit government media (NPR, PBS) as well, since government-funded media in the U.S. is significantly different than government-funded media in other countries. The government does not have nearly as much control over it as some countries do. And, uh, reporting that people disapprove of him is not fake news. Reporting the protests against him and his actions is not fake news. Reporting poll data from independent polling companies is not fake news. He calls whatever makes him look bad fake news. Surely you see that?

I mean, Kellyanne Conway is out there talking about "alternative facts," and says that if the media keeps reporting negatively on Trump then the administration will have to "rethink their relationship", Press Secretary Sean Spicer is constantly lying to the media's faces despite being called out in every press briefing (I watch almost every press briefing and it's amazing how he will literally just lie to a reporter and dismiss whatever facts they bring to him.) And Trump says anything CNN or the New York Times ever utters is fake news; meanwhile Brietbart gets front seats at media events. He obviously does not care about the quality of the news. He cares about who makes him look good. The fact that legitimate news organizations are getting punished for reporting the ABSURD shit that Trump is doing is ridiculous.

ABBA didn't market their music with bullshit demagoguery by being fucking dicks to everyone. Asshole didn't win pop vote and the EC win still was at the bottom of EC win margins. The asshole still lied about his turnout, which was still lower than BOTH Obama's inaugurations and even the Woman's March. Now ask me again what I think of that jackass bully. 

Agnetha Faltskog of ABBA is pro LGBT where as asshole bully Trump selected a fucking right wing religious bigot in VP Pence. Yea, the jackass won, sure, but please don't blow smoke up my ass and pretend  it was in the slightest bit moral.

FYI ABBA didn't win any political offices no, but they sure as hell won lots of music awards during their career. Very close to Beatles sales. 

If this is falsely accusing me of "sour grapes" no. Trump is not only an asshole bully, but a very dangerous political demagogue beyond party.
