Trumpmentalization

is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism used by Donald Trump and his supporters to avoid cognitive dissonance within themselves by mentally walling off the actions and statements of Donald Trump and/or the Trump administration to more easily criticize the actions of other politicians, political groups, etc which either also apply to the Trump administration, or implies the administration is incompetent.
My dad doesn't seem to want to realize that all the "power grabs" by the governors of NJ and NY are the very things that the Trump administration is advocating for. It really is a great example of Trumpmentalization.
