Any spychologist out there can explain why Trump wants to relive this ramp thing over and over?
If it happened to me, I would want to forget it and wouldnt want to attract more attention to it (& most ppl would do the same).

(115,674 posts)It's out there that there's something wrong with him because he had to use both hands to drink water from a glass and then walked unsteadily down a dry, shallow-pitched ramp next to an Army officer who seemed to have no trouble with it. Rather than just walk away and allow the incident to be forgotten, or at least superseded by something else, he has to explain away his apparent weakness (he hates being thought of as weak). This, of course, keeps it all in the news as everybody else piles on, pointing out that the weather was sunny and dry, that, as the video clearly shows, he didn't run down the last ten feet of the ramp, and that he did, indeed, use two hands to drink water and it had nothing to do with spilling it on his tie (most people can easily drink water one-handed without spilling a drop on their ties). But he was playing to his base, the 6,200 sorry souls who showed up for Coronafest, and they evidently loved it, which fed his narcissism - the reason he has these rallies in the first place.
I'm not a psychologist and I don't play one on tv, but that's what I think is going on.
