Donald Trump is 'gaslighting' all of us.

Frida Ghitis is a world affairs columnist for The Miami Herald and World Politics Review, and a former CNN producer and correspondent. The views expressed in this commentary are her own.

(CNN)Is Donald Trump really a "big fan" of the intelligence community, as he claimed on Twitter, or did he disparage intelligence professionals when he repeatedly referred to them and their work in sneer quotes about "Intelligence" briefings and the "so-called 'Russian hacking'"?

Did Trump mock a disabled reporter, or did your eyes, and the Hollywood elite make you think he did?

Did he convince Ford not to move a car plant to Mexico, saving American jobs, or was it all a fabrication for publicity?

Did he win the election with a historically narrow victory, or did he score a "landslide"?

The questions are endless, and the answers, unless you're paying very close attention -- all the time -- can require significant effort to ascertain. Reality is becoming hazy in the era of Trump. And that's no accident.

The fact is Trump has become America's gaslighter in chief.

8. Not really a Brave New World, rather

a Frightened New World where truth is lies.

Orwell would be nodding his head at the Trump disaster.

2. Let's make it simple people repeat after me

Trump is a sociopath. No conscience. The big analysis is pointless. He lies all the time. You can't trust anything he EVER says. He is a walking definition of a sociopath.

15. I go all the way with the Mental Health Professionals

that he is a suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. His family is always sheltering him.

Fake President. Sick ass man.

3. When the Golden Urinator opens his mouth,

you hear plain gibberish,all by design. And the Media wants desperately to kiss his ass,but,they don't know which end it is on. After the NBC attack on Buzzfeed ,who they have a monetary interest,you understand how the Media was all in with making sure Trump got elected.

depraved stupid evil and getting ready to go down in flames.

7. My biggest fear is the more we try to cast light on the true reality...

The more Trump and his ilk will twist reality to their advantage. He is using classic bully/abuser tactics by denying, lying, and distorting the truth and so far he's getting away with it because anyone who dares to call him out is bullied on Twitter by Trump, threatened with removal from press conferences, or has legions of Trump minions attack them through social media. We are living in scary times and we must do our best to fight for truth, no matter the consequences.

14. my daughter is a narcissist. Same modus operandi for her, too

She does something wrong, I call her on it, she twists it and obfuscates and deflects until I'm the one feeling bad for having called her out! Donald Trump does the same thing.And the entire country-especially the media- is falling for it.

13. So he can have his Western White House in San Diego.

In the Gaslight District.

16. No he won't last out there

too many free thinking, creative and freedom loving people in California.

17. Is this the KIND of GAS LIGHTING where you try and light it

and it blows up in your face, cause it sure seems like it...
