He’s a narcissist that wants to stoke outrage.
He doesn’t have a plan* other than finding the button that keeps him in the news and generates narcissistic supply. When he gets bored of that button he backs off. Then he finds a new shiny button to press that freaks people out and generates headlines.
Social media posts where people are freaked out - like many on this thread - is to him like the best high possible.
The best you can do is respond to actual facts on the ground and ignore the bluster.
* it’s the people around him with plans to be worried about
- mrbombastic 1y agoI mean sure but whether it is the people around him or him eroding democracy and shifting the overton window feels a bit like arguing semantics while the titanic is going down. Edit: to the point about Trump wanting outrage, I don’t really care what he wants I want more people engaged in what is happening not less.
