that Hillary is living rent-free in Trump's tiny brain. He seems to like having her there because he's made no effort to evict her.

caused thousands of despicables to scream approving demands for him to throw her in prison. Then he'd turn on his TV and watch it over and over again on show after show, which would always obligingly remind people of all the allegations against HER. Not him.

I suspect that's a lot of what's behind this. Villifying Hillary had the immediate effects he wanted--before, and he really wants that back again. In a very real sense he's the media's new "Hillary," but don't expect him to understand that.

him even though he has gotten away with his crime, so much so that it drives him mad and provokes him to expose the murder himself.

All they can do is observe him, and most likely come up with the same conslusion the rest of us did.

It is a mark of the ruthless narcissist, a desire to inflict as much damage upon someone
whom he perceives has wronged him in some way. The victim may have done nothing at all.
It is the abuser's mental illness and distortions which are the triggers.

The abuser will lie, slander, accuse the targeted person in order to inflict pain.
And to deflect from his own wrong doing.

Another explanation is that Trump's base love Hillary bashing and he does it to
get their approval and support.

Also he may just want to confuse the public about his own wrong doing.

1) this is him speaking to the people in his base whos support is waivering. "Remember hillary? Remember how bad she was?"
2) its like the stud high school guy that never graduates mentally. Still relives those "glory days" years later but hasn't done squat since. To me this confirms F&F, he doesn't really want the job but loves to bask in the fact he won a national election.

Trump reminds me of one of those sick perverts from a CSI episode that cover their walls with photos of their victim. Whatever twisted fantasy is running through his head can't be normal. He's been fixated on Hillary for more than 2 years now, and he still hasn't been able to find some way to scratch that itch.
