Cornered Trump 'doesn't care if he burns the country down'

1. Yes it would please him no end

to lash out and punish us for not recognizing how great he is. All of that bluster and hyperbole is just so much grasping at ego on his part. He is a very very sick man, a malignant narcissist.

Not only will his evil karma bear bitter fruit, it will all happen publicly. I don't know if he is capable of experiencing humiliation, probably not. It will just be an ocean of anger and resentment, when the boom gets lowered. Lots of booms now headed in his direction.

2. He would feel strong & mighty if he burns the country down. He would feel it was deserved

by the people who opposed him. He's a sick, sadistic psychopathic narcissistic fuck. He's not unlike cult leaders Charlie Manson, Jim Jones, David Korish. And Moonies have blessing ceremonies for AR-15 rifles.

This is from Wikipedia: In 1984, 751 people suffered food poisoning in The Dalles, Oregon, United States, due to the deliberate contamination of salad bars at ten local restaurants with Salmonella. A group of prominent followers of Rajneesh (later known as Osho) led by Ma Anand Sheela had hoped to incapacitate the voting population of the city so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections.[2] The incident was the first and is still the single largest bioterrorist attack in U.S. history.

It's difficult to understand who trump is, and what motivates him, unless you have had experienced his level of depravity. Maybe through a family member, community member, church leader/member, family member that was sucked into a cult. That person cares about absolutely NOTHING except their own self interest, and will use who ever and whatever for their own self interest. They are usually very persuasive, very cunning, very treacherous in making their plans.

His philosophy regarding his real estate dealings is case in point: He grotesquely inflates it's value, muscles all those involved to confirm it, and says "fuck you, it's your fault for believing me." No wonder trump loves the "Snake" poem so much.: A woman helps a distressed snake, who in turn bites and kills her. While she's dying she asks the snake why he tricked her, the reptile replies that the “silly woman” knew “damn well” what it was when she took it in.

3. You're right that people can't understand

What drives him unless they've experienced someone like him in real life. Or at least realize that they have. I can guarantee that nearly everyone has had bad encounters with people just like him, even if they didn't realize the malignant behavior type they were dealing with. People like him are far more numerous than you think.

My grandfather had zero acquaintance with terms like "malignant narcissist" or "anti-social personality," but he understood the concepts enough that he used to tell people all the time, Never trust anyone who tells you, 'It's nothing personal; it's business.'

My grandfather had two small businesses over his lifetime, and in both, business was personal. As in, you had to care about people to succeed, not only your customers, but also employees, your suppliers and vendors, the guy at the bank who handled your payments and loans, your lawyer and insurance agent who watched out for your liabilities, and so on.

Your reputation was everything in business, and you didn't get a good one in his day by being cold-blooded impersonal and certainly not by being awful to people. You did it by handshakes and keeping your word, being fair to everyone, and all those other quaint, old-fashioned ideas about how to be a real success.

So if you hear, "it's nothing personal; it's business," that's a red flag to be on your guard--and hold onto your wallet for dear life.
