Donald again demonstrates a neurotic defense mechanism, this time "projecting" his own provocative behavior, "trying to start World War III," on his critics. He's obviously twisting Gorbachev's recent speculation, word-for-word, that implicated Donald's behavior. It's like the typical, philandering batterer who throws his wife around the house, screaming that she's seeing other men and they both know that's the opposite of what's going on.
