Trump is not a ‘negotiator’— Trump is a sadist. Trump loves that his #TrumpShutdown devastates and inflicts massive suffering for over 800,000 American families, communities, endangers U.S. food, airports, etc., all done in order to force Americans to give him a “$25Billion Taxpayer Bailout Fund” to bailout and pay for “Trump’s $25B Campaign Wall Lie.”
“Everyday sadism” is a psychiatric term used to describe someone who actively seeks to cause emotional pain in order to get what they want.
Trump’s Admiration of Sadists:
For years Trump has shown he enjoys inflicting physical and psychological harm on others in order for him to personally benefit. But instead of calling Trump what he is, a sadist; the talking-heads on tv & in print say things like:
“Trump lacks empathy” or “Trump shows no compassion” or “for some reason Trump is attracted to brutal fascist & totalitarian dictators”
Sadistic, brutal dictators like: Putin of Russia, Kim Jong-un of North Korea, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and Crown Prince Muhammad binSalmon of Saudi Arabia.
Everyone of those dictators listed have slaughtered people in order to get something they want.
Decades Of Trump Sadistic Rages:
Trump Shutdown:
There are several examples of Trump’s sadism at work. Most recent example is the Trump shutdown that is causing severe emotional, financial, and physical harm to American families in order for Trump to get is $25B Campaign Wall.
Family Separation:
Another example is what talking-heads call: Family separation at the border — but what I call, Trump kidnapping refugee children from families seeking asylum in America. And what is the real reason Trump has created a humanitarian crisis at the border? The answer is simple: he wants Americans to give him a $25B Taxpayer Bailout fund to bailout and pay for his $25B Campaign wall. Period. Period.
Let that sink in … Trump rips refugee infants, toddlers, teens from their parents who are seeking asylum in America and, in many cases, does not even bother to track the children so those children may never be find their parents — and Trump does not give one goddamn.
Can you imagine never seeing your child again? Or having your child ripped from you not knowing where your child is going, how they are being treated? Or being a child ripped away from their parent not knowing when, if ever, they’ll see their parents again? PTSD is a certainty.
And why is Trump intentionally causing such agony for refugee parents and children? The answer is simple: Trump wants his $25B Campaign Wall to be paid for by American taxpayers — so he’ll show us goddammit.
Humanitarian Crisis:
And when Trump's self-made humanitarian crisis failed to convince Americans to give Trump $25B Bailout Fund; Trump decided to "proudly" shutdown government.
Talking-heads say,
‘Trump is being cruel and violent to refugees to appeal to his base’
And, as sick and as vile as that notion, in and of itself, is; the more important thing to call out is that Trump is being cruel and violent to refugees to feed his sadism in order to force Americans to pay for his $25B Campaign Wall.
Trump is not just cruel, Trump is violent and Trump violently cruel because Trump is a sadist who uses sadistic measures to get his way.
Trump’s Threat To Destroy Mexico’s Economy:
In 2016, Trump wrote a 2-page load of BS titled, “Pay For The Wall,” wherein Trump threatens to devastate Mexico’s economy if they refuse to pay for his $25B Campaign Wall. Trump wrote that Mexico either gives Trump a “one time $5B — $10Billion payment” for Trump's $25 Campaign “Wall” or he will devastate Mexico’s Economy by “Executive Order.”
Pay For The Wall
Introduction: The provision of the Patriot Act, Section 326 -the "know your customer" provision, compelling financial institutions to demand identity documents before opening accounts or conducting financial transactions is a fundamental element of the outline below. That section authorized the executive branch to issue detailed regulations on the subject, found at 31 CFR130.120-121. It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for the wall including the following:
On day 1 promulgate a "proposed rule" (regulation) amending 31CFR 130.121 to redefine applicable financial institutions to include money transfer companies like Western Union, and redefine "account" to include wire transfers. Also include in the proposed rule a requirement that no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States.
On day 2 Mexico will immediately protest. They receive approximately $24billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States. The majority of that amount comes from illegal aliens. It serves as defacto welfare for poor families in Mexico. There is no significant social safety net provided by the state in Mexico.
On day 3 tell Mexico thatif the Mexican government will contribute the funds needed to the United States to pay for the wall, the Trump Administration will not promulgate the final rule, and the regulation will not go into effect
(emphasis added by me)
Notice, Trump’s sadistic threat, is akin to issuing economic sanctions against a U.S. ally whose only ‘crime’ is saying “no” to paying for Trump’s $25B Campaign Wall.
Mexico said “No.”
So now, and for the last 24 days, Donald Trump shutdown the US Government with the same threat against American families that he threatened Mexico with.
Trump is telling Americans either give him a“one time $5B — $10Billion payment”for Trump's $25 Campaign Wall — or — Trump will continue to devastate American families.
Let that sink in…. Trump shutdown US Government with the same ‘economic sanctions’ threat against American families that he threatened Mexico with.
Trump’s shutdown is a result of Trump’s sadistic rage and has caused: Federal workers to be breadlines, US food is not being inspected, endangering US airports and flights in the air, and endangering US national security all because Trump wants to force Americans to give him what he wants: A $25B Taxpayer Bailout Fund to bailout and pay for Trump’s $25B Campaign Wall.
In short,
Trump’s Brother & Brother’s Children:
Trump’s sadistic behavior dates as far as — at least — 1981. The New York Times reported that in 1981 Trump’s brother, Freddie, died. As it turns out, Freddie’s son, Freddie Trump III, had a child born with cerebral palsy shortly after his father died. Donald Trump told Freddie III that the Trump estate would pay for the child’s medical expenses. But, unbeknownst to Freddie III, Donald Trump had re-written his own father’s will (Trump Sr.) during the time his father was suffering from Alzheimer.
The result: Donald Trump cut Freddie’s children out of the will and, in Trump Sr.’s will Trump had written that Trump Sr.’s estate, at least $20 million, will be divided among his children and their descendants, “other than my son Fred C. Trump Jr.”
Trump wrote that sentence, “other than my son Fred C. Trump Jr.,” in his father’s will. Sadistic bastard.
When Freddie’s children sued, Donald Trump stripped healthcare payments for Freddie III’s child. Donald Trump said, “I was angry because they sued,”
Translation: in a fit of sadistic rage, Donald Trump inflicted insurmountable financial suffering and psychological suffering on his nephew in order to get Trump what Trump wanted: his brother’s share of their father’s estate.
Journalists Describe Trump as “Cruel”
Yes, Trump is “cruel” but, Trump is cruel because Trump is a sadist.
Journalist Conor Friedersdorf describes the 1981 event along with additional sadistic episodes of Trump in his piece for The Atlantic titled, “Donald Trump's Cruel Streak: For decades, the candidate has willfully inflicted pain and humiliation.”
Part of a sadist’s cruelty and violence includes humiliating people who get in the way of what that sadist wants. New York Times published an article on December 28, 2018 titled “The 551 People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter: A Complete List.”
On October 23, 2018, of The Atlantic wrote an article, “The Cruelty Is the Point” where he talks about the way Trump Trump rejoices in the suffering of those who get in the way of Trump wants.
In August 2017, Christian Schneider wrote an Op-Ed titled “Donald Trump Has a Sickening Fetish for Cruelty.”
I did find one journalist who called Trump out for his sadism. In July 2017, Maureen Dowd wrote a piece titled “Trump’s Sadism Leaves Him Impotent” where she lists some of sadistic things Trump does.
On December 13, 2018, Adam Serwer of The Atlantic uploaded a video titled “Trump and His Supporters Thrive on Cruelty” wherein Serwer says Trump has “consistent demonstration of cruelty.”
Serwer and the other journalists are correct: Trump is cruel. But what the leave out is:
Trump is cruel because Trump is a sadist.
Sadism:
Sadism is intentionally being cruel and inflicting harm on others in order to get something, whether that something is sexual arousal or a $25B campaign wall or more power.
Sadism is an addiction to the “dark triad” which, combined, creates a “dark tetrad” to describe the “desire for power represented by everyday sadism.” Dark Tetrad is mental disorder that combines: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism.
Trump is a lot of things:
Trump is: criminally corrupt, a traitor against America, apathological liar, jackass, racist, bigot, danger to US national security, and a sadist.
So, next time you hear talking-heads say, ‘Trump demands loyalty but isn’t loyal’ or ‘Trump will throw anyone under the bus’ or ‘Trump just threw his long time lawyer, his generals, his Sec of State, his wife, Gold Star Family, etc. under the bus’… just remember Trump does cruel, inhumane, violent things to people because Trump is a sadistic motherf@#ker who has never given one goddamn how much pain and suffering he inflicts on anyone — anyone — in order to get what he wants.
And, what does Trump want right this second? Why is Trump “proud” that his Trump Shutdown is intentionally devastating and inflicting pain on American families? Answer is simple:
Trump wants to force Americans to give Trump a “$25B Taxpayer Bailout Fund” to bailout and pay for Trump’s $25B Campaign Wall Lie.
So, again, Trump is not a “negotiator”— Trump is a sadist.
