Donald Trump’s Persecution Complex

Donald Trump’s Persecution Complex

Quote

Like many an autocrat before him, Donald Trump loves projection. And why shouldn’t he? He’s used the method to great success! Who could forget when, during his 2016 campaign, he assigned Hillary Clinton such labels as “monster,” “unbalanced,” “unstable,” and “dangerous,” at one point even saying, “She’s really pretty close to unhinged.” Now, you might not have been a big fan of Clinton’s in 2016, but, if anything, she was perhaps a little too hinged—which is partly why she struggled to convey an authentic persona to voters. By contrast, when it comes to Trump, hinges, as it were, are not even in the political toolbox.

It’s been more than two weeks since the former president’s criminal conviction—and instead of, say, reflecting on his past misdeeds, the former president is still using the moment as a prime opportunity for projection. In fact, from the very moment Trump got indicted in the New York hush money case, he started attacking Joe Biden and his allies. “This is all done by Biden and his people. This is done by Washington. No one has ever seen anything like this,” Trump baselessly rambled not long after his guilty verdict, even though his hush money case was brought by the state—not the federal government. The former president’s broadsides are hardly limited to Bidenworld; he has also attacked the judge, jury, witnesses, and prosecutors—before, during, and after the case. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” he said late last month.

None of this projection is surprising. “That’s been sort of Trump’s…method of operating,” Liz Cheney told Anderson Cooper back in December as Trump, the guy who tried to overturn a free and fair election in 2020, accused Biden of trying to destroy democracy. “It is a real threat to his political success if people recognize that—that he himself is trying to unravel democracy.” Cheney was right; to keep the wool over his supporters’ eyes, Trump has employed three tactics: intimidating his enemies into supporting him by projecting onto them his own qualities (remember “Lyin’ Ted”?); labeling unwinnable enemies RINOs (Cheney and Adam Kinzinger); and painting himself, the aggressor, as the ultimate victim. 

Only the MAGA DUPES fall for Trump's MANY LIES.

If you actually thought they were lies, you wouldn't come here everyday 10 times a day to try and convince people they were lies.  

Why, it's almost as if you were lying about it

Funny thing is that if they had just stuck with the documents case it would of possibly killed his campaign but they simply couldn't help themselves and started piling on.

Lets see... Trump is being vindictively prosecuted by the DOJ, Georgia, and was just found guilty in NY on bogus charges. 

But yeah, he has a "complex"

Not to mention the entirely bogus civil fraud suit, the attempts to keep him from the ballot in several blue states, etc etc. 

One time may be chance.  Twice might be a coincidence. 473 times and something's up.

I dont think it's a persecution complex to point out Biden (or whomever is actually in charge which very well may not even be Joe) is running the country like Hugo Chavez. Its just a fact.
