His Greatest Delight Is Cruelty

Paraphrase from something I heard this week.and which I feel is his bottom line emotion. He likes to hurt and does it any way he can, words, deeds anything. He is a ravager and so filled with malice I can't believe he is still standing.

He's garbage and he knows it, so this is the only way he - and the rest of them - can feel like 'somebody'.

I think he may have got worse over the years. Seems like as a teen if he was this way someone would have really clobbered him.

Worse than a sociopath, who doesn't care about anybody else, or a narcissistic who is merely self-centered, Trump actually takes pleasure in inflicting pain. It doesn't get any worse.

to inflict pain on others than to feel your own pain. This is IQ45 in a nutshell.

Perhaps he thinks that inflicting equal damage on everybody and everything will make him normal, in a sick sense.
