Trump wants his supporters to become increasingly angry - so they wont notice he is a loser

Trump wants his supporters to become increasingly angry — so they won’t notice he is a loser



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/trump-wants-his-supporters-to-become-increasingly-angry-so-they-wont-notice-he-is-a-loser/

So be prepared for scorched-earth politics from the Oval Office, including more savage verbal attacks on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, more baseless charges of voter fraud in the 2016 election, more specific threats to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, and further escalation of the culture wars.

Most Americans won’t be swayed by these pyrotechnics because they’ve become inured to our unhinged president.

But that’s not the point. The rantings are intended to shore up Trump’s “base” – the third of the country that continues to support him, who still believe they’re “victims” of Obamacare, who are willing to believe Trump himself is the victim of a liberal conspiracy to unseat him.

Trump wants his base to become increasingly angry and politically mobilized so they’ll continue to exert an outsized influence on the Republican Party.

or very far at all from his own ego. He attacks because he cannot admit failure and has nothing else to fall back on.

His entire life has been a desperate attempt to fit in with what he feels is his place with the wealthy and influential. Being President isn't enough for him, he must be accepted as President, and a great one at that.

When young, he used to crash parties and hang out at the "in" clubs sending out press releases about how popular he was. He never felt accepted back then (because he wasn't) and still doesn't. Note that odd cabinet meeting that started with everyone saying how wonderful it was to work for him.

His grand plans all went bankrupt, or survived from throwing good money after bad, but still he bragged about them. Now he's on a short leash and can't blow money like he used to, but takes even more credit for actually being profitable. If he is profitable-- no one has seen his tax returns.

They got everything they wanted - they stole the election and SCOTUS from us, what more do they want? They are the unhappiest group of people on the planet - led by the unhappiest man on the planet.

I think he's doing this to rile the idiots so they will take to the streets, and start rampaging and destroying everything possible if he's removed for his criminal actions. He wants war between them and us. He wants to punish us and wants to use the crazy Alt-Righters and White Nationalist along with KKK and American Nazi's to do it.
