Gas lighting has worked for Trump all his life, including selling his false wealth to magazines like "Forbes Top 500 wealthiest men."

He is trying to get her to question her sense of reality, to think her mind is playing tricks on her — in short, to convince her that she is going slightly crazy, a tactic that can be scarily effective....
