...Trump is lazy. As much as he would love to have dictatorial powers, he doesnt want to put forth the effort necessary to seize them, even though he has a great excuse: preventing mass death. Instead of consolidating power, he is delegating to governors. Rather than fomenting public hysteria to justify emergency action, he minimized the dangers of the coronavirus, comparing it to the flu and saying it would go away on its own...
Trump prefers fake problems to real problems because real problems demand real solutions, which demand real work. Trump doesnt like to work and rarely does. While marking 100 days in office, he complained, This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. He spends most of his waking hours watching TV, tweeting and talking on the phone.
In addition to being too lazy to do things, Trump is uninterested in doing things. Hes interested in having things. This is what makes his narcissism malignant rather than benign. As the social psychologist Erich Fromm observed, narcissists derive their self-worth from their possessions, not from achievements.
