    Also he doesn’t want to be loved. He wants to be feared. It’s why he likes North Korea so much.

      Is it? I mean it’s not north Korea he’s always obsessing over. It wasn’t north Korea that wrote him the "beautiful letter ". Trump spent decades sucking up to wealthy new York families. Not because they were feared. But because they belonged to a group that represented wealth and power that he wanted to be associated with. But never could being a nouveau riche loser.

      He also spent a decade or two hanging off the Clinton’s asses. It’s never been about fear. It’s always been about outdoing his father. Breaking in to circles old man trump never could. And earning the adulation and love his family never gave. It’s why he never stopped holding rallies. Not because the people there feared him. But because they worshiped and loved him. Even if they’re largely penniless ignorant rural rubes. They open their wallets eagerly still.
