A Narcissist operates on a very basic level, whatever elaborate hoops they jump through it is only to satisfy an immediate personal need.
The Harris debate made it clear Trump will lose but that was just the last nail on the coffin and Melania decided not to hide her infidelity any longer. Trump has been cheating since day one, but Melania hasn’t out in the open. Now she is and this burns Trumps identity to the ground.
Doesn’t matter what else is going on in his life, law suits, campaign stuff, it all has to take a backseat so this one woman (Melania) knows he is still an eligible bachelor and can pull whenever he wants. That’s what winking at the photographers at the 9/11 moment of silence is all about. He want’s to be seen flirting for an audience of one.
He isn’t crazy, this twisted man is just left with nothing he really wants.
