It’s not about America and the economy to Zero, it’s about his petty ego and poltical power. I can’t believe we have a psychopathic narcissist running the country based on the needs of his ego and his petty spite and vengeance.
I agree that the narcissist does not necessarily victimize people in a calculating manner. Everything that seems political to outsiders, to the afflicted comes out offhandedly, as a manifestation of his genuine character.
It is what makes Obama so dangerous. He hates people who turn on him and seeks to relieve himself of his dependence on them by putting them “in their place” through belittlement and humiliation. Basically he will get to the point of unhesitatingly securing attention in any way possible.
