Possession by Obsession: Nothing terrifies Trump more than looking like a failure.

Trumps obsessions are life long and chronic. He cannot control them.

Trump has been a failure his entire life. Every time he realizes he is about to fail he will fight to correct it like a man possessed. When he realizes he cannot correct it he looks for a way out to save face. Pay a fine and make up an excuse, quit and make up an excuse.

Trump sees impeachment as something that will make him look like a failure. Right now he is fighting like a man possessed to stop it. It is fair to say when he knows he can't stop impeachment, he will look for a way out.

He's the total product of the media and gullible idiots. And by gullible idiots, I mean his peers, not the voters. He lost money, people gave him more. He's an ass, he gets a TV show. He has or had a sh*t ton of money despite many failures. So he's failed his way straight to the bank and the White House. The moral of the Trump story is whatever his "fail your way to success" path says about what gets rewarded by our culture these days.

Reality shows and how crazy a lot are you see that a number of Americans are attracted to drama.

The talk shows about relationships that are drama filled and have people arguing on air.

FB, Twitter, Youtube people fighting to out drama and crazy each other or just doing things to get attention.

People that enjoy drama might be enjoying the mess that is Trump.
