What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when an Episcopalian bishop pleads with the President for mercy for Gay, Lesbian, transgender and immigrant groups who are now feeling endangered and fearful—and Trump calls her a hater.

I have dealt with narcissists and sociopaths in my life but usually just one at a time. With this administration it's gaslighting on a level I've never experienced before and it's overwhelming. There is not one shred of truth left in the republican party, everything they say is a lie.
The best thing we can do is stop paying attention to this stupid toddler. Better to support ppl in gov and etc that we can count on to fight back. But the constant talk about, "can you believe what he said" just gives oxygen to the fire. Starve the fire
Gaslighting is when someone manipulates another person into doubting their own perception or reality. In this case, it seems like the bishop was advocating for vulnerable groups, but the response from Trump seems like an attempt to distort the truth of her intentions.
Yes,I agree. It is what a malignant narcissist (narcissistic, antisocial, paranoid & sadist) does. It is a personality disorder associated with murderous dictators. They love to gaslight.
The gaslighting started when the orange felon referenced her as "a so-called Bishop." In my personal experience, one of the first steps in gaslighting is to create the false impression--to the victim--that they are "less than." Once that's established, it's just a pile on from there.
Or a Nasty sympathizer gives a salute and all his repugnant friends pretend it was just a weird over emotional response from an autistic dude. #nastyelon
We have officially entered the upside down era in the US.
Everything Trump accuses other of is precisely what he is doing.
Anyone who dares to call out what he is (actually) doing is a hater.
I don't know if we as a country have the intellectual bandwidth, or the media has the guts to withstand it.
And after a week, or two, of right wing media it will be this bishop should retire, or be relegated to other duty, so as not to offend the first family & their hateful beliefs. Will Americans ever get who the haters are in this country & it is not the bishop!!
Also when the ADL calmly explains that an obvious gesture of ominous historical meaning is not actually an obvious gesture of ominous historical meaning.
That’s also a clue that’s you’ve encountered gaslighting.
If the minister singles you out and specifically asks you to do better, it is time to consider whether you are so morally wrong, so indecent of character, so completely out of step with the teachings of Christianity, that the sermon is about your failings as a leader, as a Christian, and as a man.

and a Sieg Heil is just an awkward gesture.
We are now living in a fascist dictatorship.

But if you have no sense of irony, seldom engage in critical thinking, and type with your thumbs perched on a toilet…
You’d say the idea of describing ‘love as hate’ was trumpian…

"Episcopalian" is the noun — Bishop Budde is an Episcopalian.
"Episcopal" is the adjective — she's the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, in the Episcopal Church of the U.S.A.
Have mercy. And that hurt his feelings? Wow.

What does it say about us that we’ve become a nation that has cause to fear its government?
The cowardly keyboard warrior used social media to whine about her.
He’s weak.
Nasty??
He’s so thin-skinned!🤦🏻♀️🙄🤬
