It's almost as if Trump does and says crazy things just for the reaction

[Funtatlaguy]

We’ve all known people, in my case a brother, who like to just see what they can get by with.
It’s like a game for them.
They think that it’s fun and a challenge to try different outrageous behaviors just to evoke reactions.
Trump is one of those.
He loves chaos.
It provides him with entertainment, I think.
Malignant Narcissistic Sociopaths are that way.

1. absolutely. He wants 24/7 coverage everywhere

he has been in control of media since he started his campaign

[Eyeball_Kid]

2. Part of malignant narcissism is sadism. Trumpy enjoys hurting people.

Give him the power, and he'll never stop.

3. Notice no one is talking about the Mueller investigation, for what? Three days now?

6. when it comes to the Mueller investigation i think it's more important what he is doing

than what is reported on it at this point. at least until he releases more.

as long as he can continue to investigation and hopefully will be able to exxpose things.

7. Every day that Mueller can work in peace without getting fired is a good day. n/t

[fierywoman]

11. I totally agree with both of you. The point I was trying to make is

that the babies in cages keeps us from talking about the Mueller investigation. And Shitler is so perverse I wouldn't put it past him to create a distraction -- *any* kind of distraction -- to keep the subject off of the Mueller investigation. That's how low I think he is.

[pnwmom]

12. I agree. It's a fun distraction for him. He loves attention, whether positive or negative. n/t

[Midnight Writer]

4. Reminds me of one of those reality TV stars

[RDANGELO]

5. I think it's that his ego will not let him back down.

He has to lie his way out of it.

[Quixote1818]

8. I am torn on if it is calculated or because he just can't help himself

Richard Wolff and Chomsky suggest what he is doing is calculated.

[mahina]

10. Whoops. I should have read the whole thread.

[mahina]

9. We're being diverted from the wrecking ball he took to our G7 and Asian alliances

And the stupid fight he’s picking with China. Piece of shit. Using our humanity to steal.

[duforsure]

13. Reporters should all be asking him now,

Do you understand you're permanently damaging these children for life. And nothing else until he answers it. All of them need to repeat this to his press secretary until she answers it. They know what they're doing to these children which is clearly child abuse. They just don't want to hear it said to them. Media needs to repeat this over and over against against him and his minions. This should never become normalized , or dismissed.
