Does Rump just love chaos, conflict and drama?

[MoonRiver]

It seems that he goes out of his way to create craziness, for no real reason. Maybe his disturbed psyche feeds on that strange energy. IDK, but I'm guessing it is part of his psychological pathology.

1. Trump's media world is nothing more than "fill airtime to get to the next commercial".

So yeah - he'd do anything to keep the plates spinning. In his favor, not in his favor...doesn't matter as long as his show is still rate #1.

He's such an asshat.

[loyalsister]

11. For exactly that reason

I think he would actually enjoy impeachment. He obviously has little to no interest in his credibility because it is impossible for him to be wrong. He has said he thinks of himself as a star. It's tough to imagine that his love of showmanship has changed now that he has a bigger stage. He also likes to play victim. Impeachment is a perfect means to achieve both.

2. Yes, because that keeps attention on him.

[MoonRiver]

4. "Negative attention is better than no attention."

That's what we said in education about misbehaving kids. WOW, that describes 70 y/o Rump!

[Warpy]

3. Yes, as long as he's the center of it

Narcissists don't care if attention is positive or negative, as long as it's attention.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. can he even tell the difference? I think he once said something

along the lines of the old trope

''I don't care what you say about me, as long as you spell my name right.''

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa! check the URL!

No such thing as bad publicity: Trump finally responds to furor over Melania’s speech

16. He honestly thinks the protesters lined up at his venues are his fans

because he won't read their signs and he can't hear what they're shouting. They're just the hoi polloi who weren't important enough to get tickets. But they love him! Just look at all of them!

I've dealt with a lot of narcissists. That's the reason I will never protest an event of his, I know how they think.

Now turning their backs, that might work, although it's risky to turn your back on such a dishonest man.

[PoliticAverse]

5. He's the type of person that thinks he can capitalize on those things. n/t

[Tanuki]

6. Enter the words narcissist, chaos, and drama in your browser

and you will get an idea of his life story and what we are in for.

[MoonRiver]

7. I'm well aware of those personality traits.

But Rump's behaviors are actually hurting him at this point. I guess the guy is completely out of control, and unable to change and adapt.

[Tanuki]

13. And that is what puts it in the realm of a personality disorder and not just a trait.

[lunatica]

15. Good point!

[MoonRiver]

19. Ok, symptoms then.

[Historic NY]

8. Its distracting so he can do something else.

[uponit7771]

9. YES !!! I know rich non working class people like him and they THRIVE off this shit !!! They have...

.... little else to do in life but start some bullshit, fight it and then claim victory.

Everyone else is the asshole too, not them... NEVER ... everyone else is starting bullshit

[MoonRiver]

10. Wow, what a bunch of wasted lives!

[uponit7771]

12. +1, since money covers their adversities and they have little REAL passion they start their own ...

... drama!

Example, we have DU ... if many here were a billionaire we'd be helping some dems get into office ... not Benedict Donald, he could care less about who's in office he only will say something if it gets him some drama attention regarding politics

They have no real passions ... that's lifeless

[L. Coyote]

17. He needs it to distract from the crimes being investigated. Like a caught 4-year-old!

His Twitter storms are timed as distractions from important stories, even the Nunes thing is a huge distraction, overtaking the real story of Comey saying Trump is under criminal investigation.

[IcyPeas]

18. he loves the attention. that is all. /nt

[Mc Mike]

20. He's always been like that, to divert attention from how much he's stealing

and how bad he sucks.

Been that way for decades.
