Psychological projection is what trump is all about. Most of all his lies are the exact opposite of the truth. So when he speaks he is always referring to himself by projection and telling the truth but its opposite. And he was POTHUS and could be again, which I am afraid is a horrible sad commentary on the American electorate.

I think it would be fascinating if at the next "debate" Biden would START with outlining what Trump does - lie, project, not answer questions. And every time that Trump does it, Biden can then raise a finger to flag it for people as Trump's doing it.

It is essential that Trump gets more blowback from his relentless lies. Even Republicans were poised to convict Nixon of "the coverup". We have been inured to Trumps carpet-bomb of fabrication style, but he can't be allowed to get away with it. Way too many people were inured to slavery and racism until focused objection made a "thing" of it. Far too many accepted second-class citizenship for women, etc. etc. "Normalized" evil gets to skate. Those who would be tyrants are trying to normalize evil even further,

As a rule, just add the word "not" to any assertion in Geopease and it starts to make sense again.

I often wonder if he knows he is projecting?

I think of projection as at least partially naive; you assume others are lying because that's what you would do. Trump seems to have been raised to be a manipulator. I think he knows that he lies and is proud of it. Some of his remarks in the past implies to me he thinks deceiving, and certainly manipulating people, is clever. It is clear from all of the deceptive plotting that Trump knows very well he lost the last election, but he feels entitled to use any tactic, hook AND crook, to get what he wants.
