Whenever Donald Trump is accused of something, he responds by accusing his opponent of that exact thing. The idea is less to argue that Mr. Trump is clean than to suggest that everyone else is dirty. (www.nytimes.com)

It’s called DARVO. He learned it from Roy Cohn.

The reality is that Donald Trump — like narcissists and psychopaths everywhere — is a practitioner, a devotee, of DARVO. DARVO refers to behavior by a wrong-doer after they’ve been called out for their misdeed: “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.” Simply put, it means that once confronted, an abuser will vigorously deny it and claim to be the actual victim. “I know you are, but what am I?!”

Always was. It's how he got elected. Go way back to his debates with Hillary.

Trump: the system's rigged

Hillary: you don't pay taxes

Trump: it's because I'm smart. Your friends & donors use the same rigged system

Also, the system is still just as rigged.

To be fair, plenty of anarchists on Lemmy advocate for not paying taxes. A better example would be the fact that he's admitted to sexually assaulting women and passed it off as being something that everyone in Hollywood does.

Remember the "No puppet! You puppet!" What a tool.

Maybe not exactly related to the original post, but do we REALLY know whether anyone has seen Trump's ACTUAL birth certificate? The REAL one, not that countrfeit one that FOX News threw together some years ago? I'm just asking questions

No puppet, no puppet. No, you're the puppet!

Yet he was still voted in after that eloquent retort in a presidential debate.

You're a towel. -Trump probably

It muddies the water of any discussion and forces focus on others. If everyone does it, it's not wrong, right?

Obviously that conclusion is false, but from the lack of consequences we continue to see, many people aren't understanding.

How is this a current article? This has been known for years.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

The 2024 election is about to heat up, so it's important to reiterate this kind of thing.

I guess, like expected, he didn't live up to the promise of draining the sump he is part of
