I love you, but the man's a psychopath who wants to be a trillionaire. Whether he lives to spend the money or not.

He doesn't care about us and he thinks those sycophants love him.

Sadly, he's also lazy as fuck. So he just listens to his "advisors." Who are also just a bunch of psychopaths.

I just don't know of anyone who uses projection at the rate or scale that he does for virtually everything, a form of mental addiction.

"Psychological projection is used as a defense mechanism to protect self-esteem and reduce anxiety by externalizing uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, or impulses onto others. It helps individuals avoid responsibility or guilt by attributing their own negative behaviors or flaws to someone else."

He will never take personal responsibility for anything, that's for sure. His antisocial personality disorder prevents him from doing that.

Hopefully, he will suffer a complete physical collapse from the psychological pressure. Then we'll get to watch them all scrambling as they attempt to fill the power vacuum.

I'll bring the popcorn.

Love you!

Criticizing others for what he is doing. He blows himself up daily when his own words are used against him. Then he'll deny saying those words even when there is obvious evidence for him saying them. He seems insane, right?

many of his controllers are figuring out that they've gotten far less "Useful" and far more "Idiot" than they bargained for.
