Asked about potential White House staff shake-ups at a joint press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven Tuesday, President Donald Trump didn’t get into specifics but said “I like conflict.”

On the heels of White House communications adviser Hope Hicks announcing her impending resignation, a reporter asked the President about the future of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, with whom Trump has frequently clashed.

“I don’t want to talk about that,” Trump said before referencing a tweet Tuesday morning that the White House that while “[p]eople will always come & go […] There is no Chaos, only great Energy!”

“Many, many people want every single job,” Trump said of his staffing prospects, adding: “They all want a piece of that Oval Office, they want a piece of the West Wing.”

1. Raging narcissists love the turmoil.

2. I'd like to see him stand in the middle of the prison's exercise yard

and say that...

3. "Me" (actual answer to a reporter's question)

4. everything he says is suspect for me.

Why would he love a White House in turmoil where nothing can get done?

If he said water was wet I would doubt it.

6. Why should he? Because it brings him ATTENTION and that is what a narcissist craves

more than anything. If possible, he prefers adoring fans, but even negative attention is much, much, much better than no attention.

And the reason you can't understand this is you're not a narcissist (and probably haven't been close to one.)

5. He likes ANYTHING that brings him attention, good or bad, it doesn't matter. n/t

7. I have worked with several people like this. Thankfully, none of them has become President.

I believe TRUMP when he says he like conflict. It's like oxygen to him. He can't be happy unless everyone around him is suffering. I think he's an actual sadist, in the clinical sense- a sadist and a psychopath.

8. If thats the case, he'd LOVE prison!! nt

9. When he says many, many people want every job, we know they cannot find anybody.

He lives in opposite land.

[Marcuse]
