I have coined a new word: Trumplighting

His entire campaign -- and life -- is nothing but gaslighting with some negging thrown in. So, trumplighting.

If someone else thought of this first, shhhh... because I am feeling very clever right now.

I've always thought the gaslighting is one of the worst things about him and his campaign. It's the psychological abuse of our country on a large scale – terrifying!

Used in a sentence, "I got trumped, so I kicked him in the groin twice, first while he was still standing."
