way too cunning and capable. He wants things: praise, admiration, money and shiny gold baubles. Because he is a sociopath, he is willing to do things other people wouldn’t do to get what he wants. He enjoys punishing people who won’t give him what he wants, often resulting in large-scale destruction.

His instinctive knack for destroying and breaking things may give the same result as the prediction in this article, but I will never, ever believe that it happened because Trump carefully and painstakingly planned it.
