Why Two Simple Words Bother Trump So Much

[wnylib]

10. That's Trump in a nutshell. Never grew past

his father's demands to measure up to expectations. It's why he idolizes abusive dictators. It's why he is always in victim mode. He still feels the victimization of an abusive father and still tries to escape it by being a victimizer himself. Never found a way out of the trap of just two alternatives in life.

Stuck in such an either/or paradigm, Trump decided early on that there are no gray areas in life, no values, no right or wrong, good or bad. There is only power by any means to stay on top, or no power and being a loser. Rules are meaningless unless he can make them serve his need to protect a severely damaged ego.
