If you really think Trump's personality through, then you realize that a lot comes down to lack of paternal love and the need to compensate for this by seeking confirmation and adoration. With a strong element of narcissism to keep the latent self-hatred at bay. If he does not get his way, Trump rather destroys than make amends. Remember Gordon Gekko (Oliver Stone’s Wall Street), when Bud Fox asked him why he was wrecking Blue Star, he replied: “Because it is wreckable”. This strong destructive inclination may cost America dearly.
