    The first sitting U.S. president to attend a finals game, Trump, 79, of New York, was booed louder than the San Antonio Spurs. He was shown long enough for the fans lustily booing him to see him smirk.

    that’s precisely why he does this, goes to public events where he knows he will get a cold reception. he feeds off it.

      I don’t think he feeds off it, unless you mean that it generates anger and grudges that he uses for energy.

      But he certainly doesn’t seek it out. He’s a malignant narcissist. His smirk is that the only way he can cope, to act like (and believe) that everyone booing is deranged, since he is perfect (including in victimhood). But narcissists have extremely fragile egos, which require full time care to protect with their delusions. The booing hurts him to his core.

      Unfortunately, despite the smirk and delusion, narcissists often react with long, drawn-out revenge and punishment schemes for even small slights. Good thing Trump hasn’t shown any signs of irrational revenge plots…

      So you’re saying he has a humiliation kink and that his presidency is a ruse to get himself off the only way that still works… global humiliation?
