Brilliantly threads the needle to explain how Trump exploits the media and the voters' emotions to weave his own presidential tapestry through a withering litany of lies. -- Malcolm Nance, New York Times bestselling author Riveting...Vivid, raw, and bold storytelling. Her hard-hitting analysis pulls no punches and puts a crazy year into sharp perspective. -- S. E. Cupp, CNN host and author of Losing Our Religion The word 'gaslighting' is not yet in the Oxford English Dictionary (American or British editions) but that may change with Amanda Carpenter's timely explanation of Donald Trump's personification of such deviant behavior. Amanda has nicely, and concisely, cataloged Trump's troubling conduct along with the methods employed with his endless mendacity. By comparison, and of interest to me, she finds Richard Nixon was a mere dabbler in this dark art. Suffice it to say, if you don't understand gaslighting, you have no idea what Trump is doing--and these are not times to be uninformed. Her warnings are not those of a partisan; rather, this is a principled analysis of another horrific situation accompanying the Trump presidency. Thank you, Amanda, for putting a spotlight on it. -- John W. Dean, Former Nixon White House Counsel
