and everything he is going to do now is to inflame his crowd and delay. The sociopath loves every moment of this drama around them and their ability to provoke strong reactions. They feed on this. It is always constant scheming and provocation with them. As I've posted other times about these people they have a need to "win" situations and so constantly do things like this. If you said red they would automatically say green and then embark on hours of argument about why you are wrong. Of course whatever item you're looking at is in fact red but that fact is not the point for them. After you finally walk away from the argument because it is hopeless they will declare themselves victorious over you.

They will also use things like constant deflection tactics. So if you are arguing with them about red versus green after some point they may say to you "Why are you always attacking me?" and then you respond in a normal fashion and say "I am not always attacking you." Then the argument will be a ping-pong affair of "Yes you are" "No I'm not" etc.

Unfortunately I ended up in a relationship years ago with someone like this. This sort of thing would go on for sometimes 6 hours and more and if you simply tried to walk away from them they will follow you through a building, they will block your escape any way they can. For these folks it is never ever admit they are wrong (it is always some other reason things went badly), they will always double-down, they will always be looking for the next avenue of instigation/creation of chaos in order to "win". Keep in mind that they don't need to actually win to feel that they have. They take the fact that they have created this situation as a "win" also. In other words "See what I made you do?" Even once he is in jail (hope springs eternal) he will use the unequivocal support of his followers as evidence in his mind that he has "won". Put in to words it would be "See these people? They know I'm being treated unfairly." That is the mental sickness of these types. They don't want to avoid conflict. Just the opposite and no matter what it is anything and everything is always because of something/aspect/failure by someone else because they were bad/disloyal/weak etc. and therefore in their mind they are always "winning". That word in fact is front and center constantly with him and MAGA world.

The complicit media that adored this chaos from 2015 on still clings to his every word and action and it just continues to feed the sick mind the "wins". He knows they will cling to everything he says and does. That horrible TV show of his was the ultimate, at that point, win for his sick mind because it created him as all knowing, all powerful and able to say or do anything to anybody.
