Gearing up for the last of the presidential debates on Wednesday we cringe to think what fabrications Trump will come up with against Hillary. We thought it was time to delve into what possibly drives Trump’s behavioral patterns & we discovered that his blatant untruths tactics clinically fall under projection. Projection is a psychological defense mechanism in which individuals attribute characteristics they find unacceptable in themselves to another person. In some cases projection can result in false accusations. This could explain why Trump seems to call everyone a liar rather than own up to his lies or why he keeps on claiming Hillary should go to prison knowing that perhaps that is his destiny. Also one of the main mechanisms of projection is paranoia like the election is rigged which frequently is a symptom of narcissistic & borderline personalities. Sigmund Freud believed projection to be a defense mechanism often used as a way to avoid uncomfortable repressed feelings. Feelings that are projected may be controlling, jealous, angry or sexual in nature. These are not the only types of feelings & emotions projected but projection most often occurs when individuals cannot accept their own impulses or feelings. This could also explain a lot of where Trump is coming from psychologically especially his need to grope women & also explain the sector of his mob-like followers who chant “Lock Her Up” when they’re really chanting “Lock Us Up.”
