December 30, 2017: President Trump and a Classic Case of Projection

 

12/30/17: We hear rumblings. The president’s legal team plans to start branding General Flynn a liar. Trump once talked regularly about what a great man the general was. That was before Flynn began cooperating with the Mueller investigation. By now this much should be obvious. In the twisted world of Donald J. Trump every critic is a liar. Go to his Twitter feed and have a look.

 



 

A classic case of projection. 

Who does Trump insist is lying? George Papadopoulos, who worked for his campaign, is a liar. Hillary is a “PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.”  James Comey? Wow, “so many false statements and lies.” The Fake News media deals in “fabricated lies!” Some “POS WSJ LIAR” needs to be taken down. There’s a “liar sleazeball” in Tennessee. Jeb Bush? “I’d like to call him a liar, but the truth is he has no clue.” 

In what psychologists would no doubt label classic projection, Trump’s warped world is replete with liars. When the media reports on women who accuse him of sexual assault, the accusers deal in “made-up stories and lies.” “Obama is a liar.” Marco Rubio is a “liar/orator like Obama.” George Will is a liar. Edward Snowden is a “liar and a fraud.” James Clapper is lying. Robert Mueller is lying. Leadership at the F.B.I. and Department of Justice is comprised of men and women who can’t tell the difference between truth and a Twinkie. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders lie. Jeff Flake was a liar. Ted Cruz was a “world class liar.” 

All the students at Trump University were lying about sh*tty courses. 

Whole rafts of reporters make a living lying. Just by chance, it happens these are all reporters who criticize the Groper-in-Chief. There are flocks of liars at CNN, ABC, MSNBC, PBS, the BBC, at Time, Newsweek, Reuters, USA Today, The New York Times, the New York Post, the Washington Post and any newspaper or media outlet that faulted Donald J. Trump.
