1) Let me explain the personality of Trump. He’s an insecure, fragile, weak little man trying to put on the facade of a strong man. He doesn’t realize he gives himself away, but it’s not hard to detect. He needs constant attention and validation. In fact, he craves it. And⬇️
2) He needs constant praise, flattery, and gratitude no matter how obviously insincere because it projects the image he wants others to have of him, as well as satisfying his desire to hear it. He thinks it shows everyone he is a great man, and not a small man. And⬇️
3) He needs people to fawn over him as an overprotective mother would a spoiled child. Hence his childish outbursts and tantrums about people that angered him or didn’t give him the praise he feels he deserves. Everyone MUST love him—or else. And why?⬇️
4) It’s obvious in the one-on-one dynamic with his father, his father railed at him and browbeat him. Now, Trump absorbed that into his personality. That’s what you see when he goes into an angry tirade: Both the angry father and frightened child Trump. About that⬇️
5) The type of anger Trump exhibits is the type that manifests from fear. That’s his fear that he’s not going to get the praise and flattery he needs just as an addict needs drugs. That people aren’t grateful enough to him. That’s also his dad talking and ranting there. And⬇️
6) The childishness of Trump’s tantrums is how he interacted with his mother to rant to her about what dad said. Note the whining nature of Trump’s outbursts: “It’s Biden’s war!” to explain why his own failures. And the reason he does that has to do with validation. Because⬇️
7) His mother gave him validation and constantly assured him he was special to the point he needed that to shore up his insecurities. Over time, he grew to believe he never did anything wrong and everything wrong was someone else’s fault. Obviously, his mother reinforced this.⬇️
8) So what you’re seeing is Trump demanding the praise he desired from his father. And, over time, he learned tantrums were the way to obtain it from his mother. Therefore, he demands constant praise, flattery, and gratitude from everyone. And something else⬇️
9) The reason you see his inner circle praise him for accomplishing things that have not been accomplished in reality is because they know Trump demands that. And he better get it. That’s from the dynamic with his mother. If he doesn’t get it, he reacts terribly. And⬇️
10) He cannot believe he lost the 2020 election because that would provoke his insecurities. He now thinks he didn’t get ENOUGH votes in 2016 that, in his mind, he deserved. He has a deep need to punish the American people for that, hence troops in DC now. And⬇️
11) Trump lives in fear of his own insecurities but especially those insecurities being exposed. That’s another reason he needs the constant praise. “I’m not insecure! These people say I’m a great man!” That’s his inner dialogue with himself and the image he wants believed.⬇️
12) He needs all this praise to armor himself against his critics. He also needs his followers to rise to his defense immediately if he is criticized. If they don’t, it’s proof (to him) that they don’t love him enough and, hence, are now his enemies. Ergo, people are fired. And⬇️
13) You will note that Trump’s inner circle and the GOP are over the top and off the charts in their asskissing of Trump. This isn’t normal. They’ve been told that this is required of them, or they’ll be punished. Just the peer pressure alone to conform is immense. And⬇️
14) Trump grows increasingly aware of his own mortality. This is very frightening for him, because he knows it’s coming soon. Therefore, his need for praise and flattery increases as a type of balm to soothe himself in a delusion that this confers a type of immortality. And⬇️
15) He NEEDS to be told he is the “greatest ever” of all things and people are certainly instructed to say that publicly. Again, this is a type of delusional elixir of immortality for Trump that he uses to stave off his fears of his impending mortality. A painkiller, really.⬇️
16) It takes a superhuman feat of denial to see these public tantrums of Trump and not see that this is a very, very sick and disturbed man. These are regular outbursts with him when he doesn’t get what he wants or his failings are being exposed. And more⬇️
17) I’d almost say Putin is a father figure for him (quite rare) that he needs to impress and win praise from. There’s no other leader he looks up to. But that he looks up to Putin is obvious. Yet, Trump paradoxically fears it becoming obvious despite inadvertently proving it.⬇️
18) Everything you see with Trump is a mask hiding a weak, insecure little man who desperately needs praise and flattery. He cannot admit to failures, so he takes it out on others by blaming them and, thus, vents his fears and insecurities about it through those tantrums.⬇️
19) America better wake up. Because people like Trump will destroy the country in order to keep getting what he needs. He has to keep doing more and more things, no matter how ultimately destructive, so he will be praised for having done those things. And⬇️
20) There is nothing Trump will not do to get what he needs. He’s capable of astonishing cruelty and destructive selfishness. Everyone and everything is disposable to him in his insatiable desires. And he will only continue to get worse. So America, you have been warned.
