He was enjoying the violence he was seeing. He was hoping to see his mob do terrible things to prominent politicians he considered enemies. If they'd gotten Pence in that gallows, Donny would have rewound and watched it over and over again. If the mob had gotten hold of some high-level targets, Donny might have temporarily ordered his goons to stop--in order to give the victims a chance to publicly grovel before him. That does not mean that said groveling would have actually saved their lives.
