Projection -- or Calling it Like it Is?

Once again, today, I heard Donald Trump refer to President Biden as "Crooked Joe Biden."

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.

Now, what if Joe Biden were to begin referring to Trump as "Convicted Felon Donald Trump?"

Which one do you think would be projecting, and which would be stating an objective truth?

Doesn't get much more "crooked" than being a convicted felon; especially when we are talking about a conviction surrounding hush money payments utilizing a lawyer to "fix" the problem and make it all just... go away

I suspect it is more Transference on Trumps part more than projection.
I mean, Trump has bee a con man crook his entire life...
So he is bound to see himself the most in others.
Especially since trump sees Biden as "stealing" the election from him.

Now, what if Joe Biden were to begin referring to Trump as "Convicted Felon Donald Trump?"
That would be awesome.

Well, Biden would be the one stating an objective truth...

No need to speculate about projection where Trump is concerned. Everything he says and does is purposeful with the aim to obtain something he values, mostly money or revenge these days.

Crooked Joe Biden is just too cobarde to face Trump.

Is that also projection , or is it objective truth?

Projection. He faced him less than 2 weeks ago. Had a bad day -- but there he was.

Oh, and I'm Canadian -- don't speak Spanish. Lâche would have got my attention better.

I mean, dumpster is a textbook case in projection. Every accusation is a confession or a plan of action they intend to do themselves.

Which is legitimately terrifying when you actually pay attention to what they say. And then watch them do it.

While we're here, I keep wondering what would happen if Joe Biden were mentioned in the Geoffrey Epstein's files. Well he doesn't, of course, but...

Donald Trump is mentioned over and over -- including pictures with Epstein, airplane manifests with Trump onboard Epstein flights with lots of young girls on board.

It seems to me that, rather like native Japanese speakers can't hear the difference between /r/ and /l/ sounds, Maga Republicans can't hear the word "hypocrisy."

Trump was on the same plane with Epstein 7 times. Many times with his family. Those pictures were debunked as fake. Trump has not been implicated in any way with wrongdoing associated with Epstein. This is disgusting.

More disgusting than Trump calling Biden "crooked" with zero evidence? Gosh, am I seeing a little bias?

There is evidence Biden is crooked look at the Hur report for one example of his crimes. I never once said Trump has not lied or that he did not know Epstein. The photos of Trump with Epstein and little girls were faked. That was what I was claiming.

This is irony.

This is objectively true, since he was convicted of felonies.
Of course, the legal system is so byzantine that a legal
argument can be made otherwise, eg....
Nothing in law is ever certain.
There are only levels of probability that
a particular court will rule a certain way.

Why are the people that were on Epsteins list or visited his little island being protected? Maxwell gave up the list and it seems some people have been tracked.

"Near Intelligence...tracked devices visiting Little St. James from locations in 80 cities crisscrossing 26 US states and territories, with Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, Michigan, and New York topping the list. The coordinates point to mansions in gated communities in Michigan and Florida; homes in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts; a nightclub in Miami; and the sidewalk across the street from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City".
