Gaslighting America
Why We Love It When Trump Lies to Us
Book • 2018
In 'Gaslighting America', Amanda Carpenter breaks down Trump’s formula for manipulation, showing how it has been practically foolproof in playing his victims, including the media, Democrats, and Republican fence-sitters.
She traces how this tactic started with Nixon, gained traction with Bill Clinton, and exploded under Trump.
Carpenter explains how Trump’s lies and fabrications do not horrify but rather enthrall many Americans and provides advice on how to withstand these manipulative tactics.
The book also details her personal experiences as a conservative former staffer and political commentator who witnessed her party succumb to Trump’s influence.
