        It has a specific use for lying of a special sort: to convince the hearer they they are mad, or blind, or insane, or at fault, and think the liar is perfect.

        Gaslighting incorporates manipulation and sustained attack of a person’s self worth. Trump’s interaction with the press is more than lying. It’s gaslighting.

        Gaslighting is a legitimate term when used to describe the behaviour of someone who has power or influence on someone.

        Why Bernard? Gaslight is manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. "in the first episode, Karen Valentine is being gaslighted by her husband"

        For those who dont know, it comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight, where Charles Boyer tries to convince his wife Ingrid Bergman that she was going mad by, among other things, turning down the gas light & but convincing her that she is wrong. So gaslighting is convincing 1/2

        'On Writing' by Stephen King should be required reading. The biggest take-away; don't use a vague or long word when a clear short one will do.

        *Lying* Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama lied their arses off about Libya and Syria and are of the same ilk as the Bush administration.
