In Gaslighting America, Amanda Carpenter breaks down Trump's formula, showing why it's practically foolproof, playing his victims, the media, the Democrats, and the Republican fence-sitters perfectly.

The research shows that men, on average, are abused around the age of eight or nine, while in the latency stage of development.
