Trumps revenge? Remember Trump is a textbook narcissist, the most dangerous kind.

[fightforfreedom]

Trump cannot stand losing, he blames everyone when he loses. He always seeks revenge. He believes the election was stolen from him. Losing drives a narcissist insane.

Trump has the same type of personality as Hitler. Hitler took the whole dam country down with him. He wanted the German people to die with him.

Perhaps Trump took all these secrets, documents, for revenge. If I can't be president I will destroy America. Just a guess.

1. Vengeance and vindication his whole motivation for anything

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Trump's only ammo is his mob(s).

I'm relieved that he doesn't have the power that comes with the WH, esp. the Military.

Even his Truth Social isn't influential as Twitter.

Even cable news channels (inc. FOX) don't put him on the air (or stories about him) for entertainment purposes anymore.

3. Tfg's problem is...

He imposed his erratic behavior on the trump organization as he wished, and got away with what he wanted.

So he thought he could do the same in the National political arena, and is now getting his ass handed to him.

4. IMO prestige and hate are the drivers.

By prestige I encompass his wealth and his reputation (both critical to him) and of course the hate - revenge in this case - is always so palpable. I think he intended to sell them to SA, to complete the nuclear transfer to them he & Russia tried for before but this time for mega personal profit. Think the 2 billion to Jared was the bribe for this. Of course it's speculation, who knows what troughs they were actually trying to feed from? One thing for sure - it would hurt America and profit him - he thinks this would have been a major win/win.

Hopefully he hasn;t already shared what he has!!!

5. Yep you got it

Nailed it

His MO has always been
If someone hits you, hit them back harder

He is still a danger

6. You are correct.

I have a mother who is just like him.

She is evil. Don't tell me she is sick. She is evil and she does damage.

7. He is also a grifter and probably planned to sell them.
