What does Donald Trump even think he’s doing?

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

“It’s MINE!” That is reportedly what a spoiled, orange traitor said about classified White House documents. “It’s not theirs; it’s mine.” According to these reports, Donald “assolini” Trump had many warnings that he was holding onto documents that were not his.

But he flat out refused to give them back because he felt they were his. “It’s not theirs,” he squawked — like a petulant red-faced infant — a bad seed of the highest degree. This news, if true, clearly shows that Donald Trump had ample warnings and opportunity to return the documents — and simply did not want to.

“It’s mine” is such a childish term, is it not? Whenever I hear it, I think of a brat – a little crying psychotic seedling.

But Trump apparently thinks he is ENTITLED and PRIVILEGED enough just to take anything he wants — even if it is not his.

And this is yet another sign of malignant narcissism. Malignant narcissists — and sociopaths, for that matter – do not look at people as human. Nor do they look at ANYTHING through the lens of neutrality. What they want, they take. And that describes Donald Trump perfectly. He sees, he covets, wants, takes, and keeps.

And now his actions are provoking ire. But he has few defenses. Certainly, “I am a malignant narcissist” is not a defense in a court of law, not that Trump would ever admit to being one anyway. Trump’s actions have damaged so many. It is nice to know that he is finally being held accountable.
