@benroyce don’t underestimate a dying narcissistic a$$hole with unlimited powers. He will inflict as much damage he is allowed to before dying.

@FrancoisPrague

that's it

what is #trump doing? why is he doing it?

you have to understand what a malignant narcissist is

a regular narcissist is "me me me!"

a malignant narcissist is "me me me! ...oh you're not listening {insert abuse here} ...now pay attention: me me me!"

trump's goal is to make everything about him

he doesn't care about the level of harm

give him your attention. all of it. anyway possible, no matter how much suffering to get it

that's it. that's all that is happening
