A friend of mine said the other night that Trump likes making the other person lose more than he likes winning, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
Assume a situation in which there's no way out of the shutdown that's a win for Trump and a loss for the Dems. Which will be more appealing to him: win-win, or lose-lose? The answer's obvious, right?
For Trump, a win-win isn't a win, because it doesn't involve anybody losing. But a lose-lose feels like a win, because, again, watching your enemies suffer is what really matters.
And of course the list of his enemies is constantly transforming and expanding. It's not a defined, or definable, category. It's unbounded.
