It just occurred to me that Trump likely enjoys the power of his followers killing minorities
I was looking at the cartoon below and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Trump is power hungry as hell and we know he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. He isn't making ANY effort to curve what is going on. So it only makes sense that he is likely enjoying seeing people follow through with his hatred and kill people because he knows his power is influencing people. He very well could be getting some kind of rush seeing them act on his hatred.

I think he is reveling in this. Loving every sick minute of this madness.
He has no capacity to love, feel empathy or experience what would be normal joy for the rest of us. I think that attempting to appear sorrowful actually brings him real, psychic pain. Look at him, his body language, his flat affect every time he addresses the news of the latest slaughter. He's forced to stand there, look sad and say that this behavior has no place in our country.
Does he LOOK authentic ? Of course not. I think it actually causes him pain to put that out there.
Secretly, he's delighted when this happens and scores of ("those"
people are murdered. Because it's being done IN HIS NAME. (Mostly) young, white, disaffected males are killing the people he hates, the people he rails against at his rallies, the people he calls "animals." Think about it.
Knowing how much he needs to be loved, adored, worshipped. True fanatics are killing FOR HIM and only for him. For Donald J. Trump.
I'd be willing to say that he LIVES for this. He's been inciting violence since before he took office. And now, sick, twisted, malleable young men are acting on his ugliest fantasies. He only needs to speak, and they listen, then act and kill dozens. FOR HIM AND HIM ALONE. Can you conceive of this kind of power he feels when this happens ?
This is like heroin to him. This is his ultimate wet dream, and he is loving every sick minute of it.
