According to Wikipedia, Gaslight is an American 1944 mystery-thriller film ... about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane. Part of the husband's strategy was to deny the reality that the gaslights in their home were growing dimmer and dimmer.
Trump will be what columnist Frida Ghitis of the Miami Herald calls “the gaslighter in chief” — that he will pull out all the stops to make people think that they should believe him, not their own eyes.
“The techniques,” Ghitis wrote, “include saying and doing things and then denying it, blaming others for misunderstanding, disparaging their concerns as oversensitivity, claiming outrageous statements were jokes or misunderstandings, and other forms of twilighting the truth.”
