He enjoys it.


He enjoys the chaos; he enjoys the controversy. He relishes all this attention. This poor me schtick is exactly that.
Yes, he brings it all on himself. I don't know if he enjoys it, but the negative cycle doesn't end since he is focused upon himself and lack of self-esteem, feeling threatened and fighting back, which keeps the ball rolling. He cannot self-reflect or admit anything, not having developed as a functioning adult, always having been a bully and weakling.

Early on it was said that he would not do briefings, would not sit still or read and spends time with TV to see what is being said about him, then the tweeting and lashing out. He does not work or understand anything. He spends time publicly berating others and creating falsehoods for applause. Those around him quit or are pushed out. This is all a freaking joke at the expense of the country (and world).

From the time he was on the stage to debate other Republicans, he was name calling, tearing others down. It was abominable and everyone should have known he was unsuitable. (Well, he was not destined to win, as we know). This is all he has, thinking if he belittles others, it makes him powerful. He is a really sick guy.

Just waiting for it to end...⏳

Compared to the way Clinton was treated this is nothing, if Trump was president in the late 1960's 0r early 70's he would have fainted.

Trump "No president has ever been as treated as poorly as me"

He thinks he's been treated poorly! Check your record, dude.

Draft dodging Donald became Commander-in-Chief....and does this:

Several good points in this post.

The government is practically on autopilot. Trump appoints the most unworthy people to head some of the agencies, people who are on record of not believing in the missions of those agencies, so he is deliberately expecting dysfunction. Then he spends most of his day immersed in TV and complaining about the coverage.

As I recall, he was the only person to complain about 'gotcha' questions too, and he was the only one to allege 'streaming blood' too. The man is a perversion.

... And for the very first time in US history, we had a presidential candidate leading chants for his opponent to be locked up. That was something I had never seen before in many decades as a voter.

Not to mention accusing his political opponents of treason and suggesting that they should executed.

Some people like this about Trump. Some people like that he's crass, starts crap with other people, bigoted, and just plain nasty. It's view by some as "strong", "tough", and "blunt". Some people like Trump because they see a bit of themselves in him. Some people are quite nasty and mean themselves. There are those who know that he's a sick person who shouldn't be in office, but overlook it because they see a bigger than threat than Trump. Some like seeing Trump belittle others because he belittles those that they don't like.

Trump's own numerous actions are the reason he is treated as he is. If he wants things to be treated well, he needs to change his behavior to earn it.

The sleazy left can't close the deal with working Americans anymore, so they have decided on a strategy of importing pregnant Hondurans and destroying anyone aspiring to public office that isn't also a sleazy corporate *****.

Since he was under investigation for collusion with Russia, it is only recently that he has been able to follow-up on his draining the swamp campaign promise.

Well, the swamp has objected in a way only the swamp can.

They have once again accused Trump of doing exactly what they were doing.

And while disgusting from a decency perspective, it is nevertheless an effective strategy since, if all else fails, they can at least claim (falsely) that Trump was doing it too.

I wouldn't expect anything else from Democrats.

They stopped being Americans decades ago, so an attempted coup against a duly elected US president and all the lies that go along with it is to be expected.

And most are in debt over their heads as he was decades ago. Being nasty and bigoted is not a strong suit. Its the outward appearance of a wuss.
