(291 posts)17. It's how he revs himself up
I recall reading that he feels energized when he has adversaries and something to fight against. So, these kind of tweets not only serve to gladden the groins of his minions but serve a psychological need for him to have a coalesced force or representative person to oppose him. These kind of taunting tweets bring him what he desires--an altercation of some form. Expect this as a regular tool of his to get him what he needs to rev himself up.

Hang in there. It'll be a few months before his supporters see they are the butt of the joke.

His base is willfully ignorant and lack rudimentary critical thinking skills. RW noise machine wins!

Trump won because of an electoral system created to empower white people in slave states.
