TRUMP’S PRINCIPLE MOTIVATION IN ALL THINGS IS MAKE OTHERS SUFFER
Trump's fundamental motivation is to fuck things up for the sake of fucking things up. This is most obviously the case with: tariffs, massive layoffs, reduction in critical services to people like veterans, the destabilization of Europe, the abandonment of Ukraine and deliberately throwing the US economy into a recession. This is the only meaningful explanation for his otherwise cruel and bizarre behavior and dipshit rationalizations.
TRUMP WAS DEEPLY, DEEPLY TRAUMATIZED AS A CHILD BY BOTH HIS MOTHER WHO PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABANDONED HIM AND HIS FATHER WHO REPEATEDLY MENTALLY ABUSED HIM. HE NOW DOES TO EVERYONE WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM AS A CHILD.
THUS, TRUMP CONSTANTLY LIVES WITH THE MENTAL CHAOS AND MADDNESS HE GREW UP WITH. HE ACTS OUT TO BRING ABOUT CHAOS AND MADDNESS IN OTHERS TO GAIN TEMPORARY RELIEF FORM THOSE DEEPLY PAINFUL INTERNAL STATES. THIS WILL NEVER END.
Trump has an infantile personality. He has the 3-year old’s belief that disobeying and being oppositional makes him powerful. It obviously doesn’t since all his actions are reactive and therefore dependent on opposing others.
He is also deeply paranoid and sadistic consistent with a Psychopathic (not Narcissistic) Personality Disorder. His narcissism is a feature of his psychopathy. Alternatively we could just say that Trump is a sick, sick motherfucker.
