'What would I like to do? Take the oil,' Trump says

“Because it’s there for the taking, there’s not a thing they can do about it,” Trump says of Iran’s vast oil reserves.

“Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I’d take the oil, I’d keep the oil, I would make plenty of money,” he said.

Of this, … this thing!!
It’s ALL about his greed and narcissism.
Remove those two things and there is only a pile of clothes and his soiled Depends.
Can he please, for the sake of humanity and all that is even decent, just die!

He can only keep making his world smaller. No input unless it reinforces his narcissistic view of himself as flawless. Lash out in rage when any reality seeps through.

If he was a loved one, we could feel sorry for the end stages of his illness.

But yeah, he just needs to die

7. His own words prove that he is killing thousands of people and threatening to kill millions, because of his own greed.
