Psychology Today defines "projection" in a psychological sense as, "Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person."
At first, Donald Trump wanted the IRS to pay him $10 billion dollars for making public his income tax statements, which is something assumed would be done by anyone running for President of the United States. But, he balked. He refused to release information about his business dealings.
Now, he wants a "weaponization" fund to pay the victims of January 6th. But the oddest part is that he considers the victims to be those insurrectionists that beat the crap out of the Capitol Police force and ransacked our Capitol. To him, those are the "victims". He wants to project onto them the innocence of their acts, because it permits him to believe that he was innocent also.
And he accuses those in the media that would question his motives, in any way, as "fake news". Just today, there is a report of him accusing a well-respected New York Times reporter, David Sanger, of "treason". He is using that accusation a lot lately. He says they should be put to death.
He knows. He is still having a very difficult time reconciling his actions on January 6th, 2021. He is projecting "treason" on every one that opposes him.
When, in fact, he is the traitor.
