why Trump shit stirs all the time

Is he trying to make things worse, to justify some new authoritarian move? Is he simply overwhelmed and incapable of solving problems? Maybe some of both, but the result is an intensifying sense, even to Republicans in Congress, that any semblance of reasoned governance has evaporated. The hysteria is not in service of a policy but in lieu of one. It’s what Trump does to manufacture material for Fox News hosts, who repeat his nonsense on air, which makes Trump feel he has “won” something. One shudders to think what will happen if we face a genuine international emergency.

Greatest Actor to ever Strut the Stage. His self created Character in the mold of Roy Cohn and Joe McCarthy and PT Barnum has taken over his whole being. What we see is years of self absorption,self pity,and childhood hatred of being not excepted by the Social Elites he strives to impress.

If one thinks he has any remorse,that is never going to happen.
