(3,956 posts)the part of him he doesn't talk about at rallies and dinner parties, trump has no self esteem to speak of. None at all. Way at the bottom of that pond is nothing but blackness and the pain of knowing he is unlovable.
Someone in his childhood, probably his Dad, was as cruel to him as he is being to to our Hispanic people at the border.
It was a combination of giving him any and everything his black heart could ever want - monetarily - but not one shred of love, affection, or respect. So all his life he has been buying attention, love respect, esteem. Buying and borrowing his way out of trouble, he has finally run up against something he cannot buy. The love and respect of the American people. So he settles for those "deplorables" that he's able to fool. And gets them to hate those of us who see through his slick shiny (very thin) veneer.
He bought a series of trophy wives. He partly was given, partly bought a real estate business. Most or all of this and his other businesses are either hanging on by their teeth or finished.
It was easy for the Russians to turn him because he is so fucking needy for praise.
I think good will ultimately overcome evil for our country. But he won't make it easy, because he is so desperate that no one find out just how fucking stupid he was to be taken in by Putin. He may even think there is still something to gain from being Putin's "friend".
