Exactly! One aspect of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump's driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He takes glee from others' suffering. Shutdowns, cuts, El Salvador deportations, markets tanking - it's fun for him.

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs.
This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.
