What does Trump really want ?

ladycae · 100+, F
i think the whole campaign was just one big ego stroke which is why he still holds rallies. notable is the one on his 100th day in office. he knows he accomplished nothing so he has to have another stroking. but he felt he could come in and if he said jump people would say how high? it happens like that in his business empire. it doesn't work like that in government because you don't own the people, they own you. i don't think he knows what to do since he appears not very open to change. business negotiations tactics don't work in government. he wants to be loved and in some ways worshiped. but no president is loved and worshiped. so he is stuck in a mess of his own making.
@TattoosAndPiercings: Yeah, that's [b]another[/b] bad habit. If something isn't working out the way he wants, just get rid of it, or block access. He doesn't like what the media says, dismiss it as "fake news" and cherry-pick the sources he likes. If the intelligence community gives him bad news, they're "corrupt". He said the whole system was"rigged"---until he won. The electoral college was "a disaster"---until it helped him. Even after winning the election, he's such a baby about not having won the popular vote he declares voter "fraud" that needs to be "investigated" (sorry, the GOP already launched that investigation back when Obama was [i]reelected[/i] and found nothing amiss). Claims Obama wiretapped him with nothing even approaching evidence, and doesn't need it, his crazy followers will still believe any lie he tells. Trump agreed to reveal his tax returns [b]like every president in modern times has done[/b], but hasn't yet; claimed it was because of a "pending audit", which begs the question of why he hasn't produced his 2016 returns. He's certainly been the first to [b]demand[/b] others produce records. Why isn't he willing to follow the rules ? Is he a criminal ? Is that what those records would reveal ? 🤔

@bijouxbroussard: imho if you try to hide something there is something you don't people to see. and what he doesn't realize that people's speculation is often worse and more damaging than reality

@bijouxbroussard: Agree with everything there , but specifically on the tax returns ; I cannot see how the FBI can not subpoena them now with all the information they already had going back years with Trump and dirty Russian money , and the new stuff coming to light almost daily now. Surely they have to be not just pertinent but critical to any thorough investigation ?

He is bipolar so even he doesn't know

@Opaque: SUCH an embarrassment...I have never seen this level of..dangerous narcissism in real life. He has to go...now
@Fernie: that's the sad part ,you're stuck with him for quite a few years yet . If you're American?

@Opaque I do not accept that sentence (jail sentence) the resistance/impeachment movement is growing...like an anti-fascism garden and every time he opens his lying, uninformed, con artist piehole...he adds manure to it and it grows and grows

Ego and power.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@Burnley123: I read somewhere that his real motivation was to become as rich as Putin. The whole Russian thing makes perfect sense in that context.

@Burnley123:he is walking ego..there's no man in there...just ego
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@pezzza: I think he had the same motivation long before Putin.
As much money as him and his family can accumulate and as much power as he can get.

Create more opportunities for his empire.

@Urchoice: ....... enter Ivanka and Jared.
Fernie · F
supreme power over the planet....what else?
SW-User
I bet he doesn't know that either.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@Deleteyourself: I tend to agree with you. Winning the Presidency was everything to him , but now that he holds the office he has absolutely no idea what to do with it.
WeighedDown · 36-40, M
Like all people that seriously aspire for that office he is a supreme egoist and wants to be a super and successful president -- whether or not that corresponds to the wishes or anticipations of those who supported him

He's made America hate again
@Fernie: well said Fetnie. His "make America great again" is as meaningless as his other campaign pledge to "lock Hilary up". He used both phrases repeatedly to whip up the fervour of his fans during the campaign before his office announced just a week after he took power that Hilary needed "time to heal". He's an expert at manipulating his followers with grand sounding , meaningless sound bites.

@Opaque: Exactly!! He IS an ARTIST when it comes to conning. He has to go
To be King of the World. Failing that, POTUS.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
Its the same thing, right? ;-)
@Burnley123: He's discovering it is [b]not[/b]. 😅

@FeetAreFantastic: Yes and no. He's certainly not enjoying the scrutiny.
