Part of Trump's pathology over "revenge"...as outlined in most of his ghost-written books...is to "hit back ten times harder."

A few problems with that.

First, most of the "offenses" against Trump are things he BELIEVES TO BE an "offense."

Second, HE is the one who determines when enough is enough...when his own "Ten times harder" rule has been fulfilled.

So if it's an IMAGNED offense in Trump's mind, how do you hit back ten times harder against an imaginary injustice?

Doesn't mean that would stop him from trying.
