      I don’t know, I tend to believe the theory that Trump ran for President because Obama made fun of him at that correspondents dinner. He looked pretty humiliated that night

        That (imo) was anger at being on the wrong side of a power imbalance. Some might argue that’s humiliation, but I think it’s different. To be humiliated, you have to be able to see yourself as inferior in some way. Trump is not capable of that.

          I agree that he’s not capable of seeing himself as inferior but I think he could tell that Obama viewed him as inferior and others were agreeing with that

      Like every narsicist ever, he dreads and fears looking weak or silly. Its why he always try to look tough.
