/‘reskyo͞oər/
noun
—Often a narcissist, a rescuer seeks out others who may be lacking in some real or perceived necessity (i.e., the homeless, drug addicts in extreme cases) and who may be vulnerable as a result, in order to provide them with the necessary provisions enough to gain notieriety and fame for themselves for their charitable and generous efforts while at the same time exploiting their unfortunate situation, keeping them in their needful state as to maintain and perpetuate the superior/subordinate relationship.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
