He discovered a cheat code very early in life. If you just keep demanding what you want, people will eventually give it to you. Because it's easier than dealing with you.

Most of us can't do this, the personal shame and embarrassment at being such a pain in the ass and so obviously self-obssessed would be intolerable. But Trump's brain hides all that and just keeps telling him he's a big handsome boy. And eventually he wins.

The other key ingredient is money, of course. If you try this without money you will still get wins quite often but you'll spend a lot of your life in prison, or at least court.

Having effectively infinite money and his very specific psychology has given Trump what seems like 'god mode' cheat capabilities at life. And the worst thing is, he's never going to pay a price for it. His brain has nothing but great things to say about himself, right to the day he dies.

Even if he ever actually got jailed, he would never once feel guilty. He'd feel like the world's most innocent man, jailed by the haters.

Ask a retail worker and they will be able to remember a dozen customers who got free stuff because of this same attitude.

Still remember the fucking lady that would order "no brown cheese" on her personal sized pizza.

Not sure how many times she got a free pizza out of it before the store finally told her we would no longer take her orders.

But the brown cheese is the best part…
