Trump has one skill - gaslighting. This is a skill of confusion. You take a subject then express every and all possible sides to that argument (with a lot of maybees, perhaps, do you thinks, and nonsense) until the listener is so confused they gladly let the gaslighter tell you the answer that is right and your confusion allows that to happen. There is a book on this. You can also google "trump gaslighting" for more information on this one.
