Trump caused the shutdown in order to Harm people

[Blueplanet]

I believe he caused the shutdown in order to harm as many people as he could. When he saw how devastating the shutdown was to many families, he sat back in glee. He feels he is being persecuted and he wants to harm as many people as he can.
Let me know your thoughts.

1. I believe so

he sees his power in the harm he can inflict on people.

2. As time has pasted since

the shutdown. Little snippets are appearing validating your story. And some of those statements are really a harsh reality of who Trump really is. A manipulative spite filled racist POS.

3. He feels nothing but the adoration of his cult

But the cult LOVED watching the 'libtards" crash and burn. At least 50% of the people who I have asked why they voted for him admitted his best quality is just burning liberals in tweets.

4. He's a narcissistic sociopathic sadist. It just could not be clearer. He's made of the stuff

monstrous dictators have been in history. I wonder, really, how many Americans get what's going on with this guy!

6. He thinks he's God.

And like God, he believes he has the right to destroy people he deems as Evil. That means anyone who isn't a MAGAt.

7. It wouldn't surprise me. n/t

8. It's also a time wasting tactic...

We are about two months behind on Dem legislation.

9. Yeah, and he (and Bannon/Miller/Mulvaney were probably gleeful about ...

... the vandals causing irreparable damage in the national parks.

WooHoo.
