What if the true power behind Trump is.....Trump?

[Girard442]

What if Trump is actually really good at what he does -- but what he does is put himself into situations where he has the power to lay waste to everything good around him. What if Trump's true goal in life is to satisfy his sadistic urges by destroying shit and peoples' lives? That is to say, maybe he derived some sick pleasure from driving all his businesses into the ground and hurting the people involved. Maybe the real reason that he stiffed all those contractors is not that he's a 2-bit cheapskate who never paid a bill he could avoid, but that he got off on screwing them, even when treating them fairly would have been better for his businesses. It's a grown-up version of pulling the wings off flies.

What if he wants millions of people in this country to die to satisfy his sick appetite and his every decision is driven by that urge?

1. What you say about him wanting people to suffer and die is true but the reason

he stays in power is because of others , from Putin, MCConnell , Barr, and other corrupt types who let him get away with the shit because they themselves are also corrupt and take part in the profiting from him.

4. Um-hum, Like the German businessmen who thought they could control Hitler.

2. I once read that one of his greatest pleasures was taking to bed the wives of his friends.

3. That's what I think.

People keep saying he's stupid, but stupid people would do the right thing at least some of the time. He NEVER does, so I think he is pure evil and understands what he's doing. He loves hurting people, and he also likes making money, but, given the choice, he'd hurt people first. Even his tv show was about humiliating people. The people who work for him either take it or leave. The rest of us have to figure out how to leave before he destroys everything.

10. +1000000! Plus he's petty and vindictive. Loves to get even.

It's what he lives for.

5. He's a bullshitter. And not a particularly good one.

Turns out, there's a significant portion of the American population who is willing to swallow any amount of bullshit if it reinforces their prejudiced beliefs that white Christians are superior to everyone else.

I mean, ya' gotta be proud of being white ... when that's the only thing you've really got going for you.

6. No what if in my mind, he's actively trying to kill us.

He wants us as sick as possible at election time, it's his only play to stealing the nation and avoid going to jail. We have to be really sick so red state governors have an excuse to close all (maybe leave 1 open) precincts in the cities so there are lines hours and hours long. Right wing sites are already urging their folks to "gun up" and bring guns to election lines to permanently stop libtards who are trying to get drumpf out of office. When people start complaining, the KKK & Proud Boy types will bring out their guns and people will die. drumpf will use that as an excuse to declare martial law and stop the election, supine Russian Repug oligarchs on SCOTUS will go right along because they too want a right wing dictatorship and hate our constitution.

Yesterday he was trying like hell to send out the message that this will go away. He wants us going back to work and thinking this is over until it explodes and tens of thousands more are dying daily. He has done everything humanly possible to create these conditions. He made us wait on testing for 3 months while his own tiny inexperienced co. was trying to come up with a workable test kit - 3 months the virus circulated freely because of him. He and Jared are profiteering off our national stockpile, sell it to China when it's already been paid for by taxpayers (where is the $$ going, drumpf, evil SIl?) then when China replaces the materials, he doesn't give them to the states, he sends them to a co. to profiteer off the states, bid up the price as high as possible so as few people as possible are actually geting help and he is profiteering a ton off of our deaths. He wants a huge 2nd wave so he can kill more, stop the election, and profiteer off it and keep control of the government so he doesn't go to jail and lose everything.

7. Power over life and death is a thrill for sociopaths and psychopaths. . . . nt

11. this in a nutshell. He is really very simple. An embodiment of evil who has been

elevated to a position that gives him unlimited power to kill, desecrate, and destroy whatever his gaze falls upon.
