23. Yet another example of Trump's lifelong sadism.

He loves violence! As only a psychopath would.

It’s constantly in his tweets. He threatens everyone. It’s always his first option.

Remember in 2017 when he threatened “fire and fury like the world has never seen” over N. Korea? And to the G8 so the whole world could see and hear?

Dr. John Gartner called it (well - Him!) malignant, narcissistic sadism, and that he gets off on it.

(On a side note I also think it’s part of Republicans DNA.)
