Trump just confessed to treason. He also confessed that he views his party as traitors.

If you translate Trumps speech by the clear patterns he has shown in the past, his bold accusations of treason on the part of others are clear indications that he has and is committing treason and the Republican party leaders are helping him.

Psychological Projection

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.


What Is Psychological Projection and How to Find If Someone Is Using It on You

What is psychological projection?

It was psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud that first coined the term projection, describing it as a way in which an individual projects their own undesirable thoughts and beliefs onto someone else.

Examples of psychological projection:

Parents who have not achieved their goals in life demanding that their own children succeed.
Fearing your partner will cheat on you is often a reflection of how you view yourself.
Believing someone hates you could be signs of your hidden intense dislike for that person.

Yes, it is called projection. That is exactly what his pattern is, project his own actions, behaviors onto others.

Well, that's good news. Will Hillary Clinton be sworn in at noon today? It would be nice to have time to set up a proper inauguration, but with Trump, and every other republican being traitors, we really don't have time, do we?

I guess Nancy Pelosi could be sworn in, being 3rd in line, but that wouldn't really be fair to the first female president....

Ahh, I just woke up, so I'm a little foggy, I'll turn on the t.v. and see what they are saying, I'm sure someone in a higher pay grade than me has the details all worked out. Thanks for the heads up.
