Donald Trump is turning self-sabotage into an artform

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.

There is a theory circulating that I’ve heard from several people. It’s an interesting theory and concerns Donald Trump. Many have asked why Trump can’t be quiet for a minute, why he does such self-destructive things, and why it looks like he is literally DARING his judges to punish him.

Of course, many say that that is just Trump being Trump — that he simply can’t help himself. That may very well be true. But there might be something else going on as well. That would be the art of self-sabotage — deliberately done on an UNCONSCIOUS level.

We all know Trump hates himself. I will quote from myself now and what I said in another article: “Nobody hates Donald Trump as much as Donald Trump does.” It’s true. Malignant narcissists have almost no self-esteem at all. They often view themselves with utter loathing.

Since they are fantastic at living in shells of denial, AND because there is little self-esteem to save them from themselves, it is possible that through their subconscious, they can arrange what they love most of all.

What they love is DRAMA. Please show me a malignant narcissist who does not ACHE for drama. There are none. Narcissists are true champions of finding drama in everything, even the littlest things. They could make a walk across the street into a huge dramatic event.

Drama is their lifeline, their true soulmate. Of course, the drama is never THEIR fault. But make no mistake, when said drama comes, it often has catastrophic results, giving the narcissist ample opportunity to blame everyone and everything around them , including the kitchen sink.

It is possible that Trump arranged all of this — likely subconsciously. He brought on that which he claims to despise the most. Trump, thanks to his own rage, is now chin-deep in drama. Am I saying that Trump WANTS to be punished subconsciously and wants the judge to react to him through fines or jail time? Maybe.

Many dysfunctional people subconsciously seek out that which they claim they do not want. For example, some people who grow up in a house filled with drugs might be apt to fall in with drug users as adults.

Much material is written by skilled psychologists and psychiatrists who discuss this behavior. Apparently, it IS very common in narcissists. They do it as “a way to avoid or destroy commitments.”

Now, Trump, a child in an adult’s body, would not consciously be aware of this. It makes sense, though, and anyone who has ever engaged with malignant narcissists or antisocial personalities would understand this.

So if this theory is true, look for Trump’s behavior to get progressively worse because he’s programmed himself for failure and drama — and he is the only one who can change his destructive habits.
