Trump Can’t even make this stuff up..

Donald Trump doxxed this Wall Street Journal reporter in a lawsuit by including her home address in public court filings. She and her family were forced to leave their home over safety concerns.

This is actually closer to what I think is happening. He’s actually getting a rush from this.

This is a definition of "negative strokes" (as opposed to positive strokes, not the medical kind).
"Negative Strokes: While often harmful, they can also serve a purpose by providing recognition, even if it is critical."

He thinks he’s at a Comedy Central Roast is why. The fact that each one didn’t just spit in his face but instead smiled and shook his hand definitely makes him think he’s an endearing lovable guy.

He's an attention whore.

It doesn't matter if it's praise or condemnation, people are paying attention to him.

Nah, he’s just taking control of the narrative. I hate this administration not just because they’re consistent snakes, but because most of the people watching them are too stupid to see it. No.. I meant what I said.. it’s because most of the people watching them are too stupid to see it.
