(9,090 posts)i think it's sex on the wrong brain and a very bad case of the Certainty Deficit Disorder. he wants something and it's all or nothing.
like all authoritarians, but at an insane level, he's so addicted to finality/certainty that uncertainty, complications, unpredictability scare him so much he has to deny they exist. he reduces the world to absolutes - black white, right wrong, good bad and that ability is what his sex on the wrong brain followers love in him - he creates the certainty they're addicted to. when he says "like no one has seen before" he's creating certainty. he grew up like a prince with $1/2BIIL he was insulated from the lessons that usually beat that level of royal certitude out of people.
life is a game of golf to him, one hole after another. he wants something, pulls out his favorite clubs, and whacks away until he gets there and finishes the hole - certainty. then he goes onto the next hole. nothing valid exists outside his realm. he has no imagination to imagine complications or failure. capable of complete denial of reality - i didn't lose!
putins people recognize he has the royal certitude and played him with pee tapes
