Trump:
“I don't think Nancy Pelosi understands the deal. It's too complicated. But it's not a complicated deal."
“She’s lost it,” said Trump. "She's not the same person. She's lost it. ... She's a mess. Look, let's face it. She doesn't understand it. They sort of feel ... she's disintegrating before their eyes. She does not understand it." Trump then unpacked his new nickname for the speaker, calling her “Crazy Nancy.”
Trump is projecting. 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.
