He loves that feeling. And he gets off on the cruelty and sadism.

6. Trump was violent as a child and his father sent him to military school to get him out if the home.

Presumably he never grew out of his prevalence for violence. His bombing of Iran was just an extension of his “I alone” mentality that feeds his narcissism and massive ego. .

He has a history of personal physical violence since he was a very young child (IIRC, it began when he was about four when he was throwing things at a 2-year old toddler in a play pen in his/her yard or playing in the yard). His parents never had/allowed the children to have pets (which for that era wasn't all that unusual, especially in large urban areas like NYC, Chicago, etc.), but it was pretty common when parents recognized that they had at least one child that had a proclivity to target small animals and other kids). From what I remember reading, his mother was concerned to the point of being repulsed by this tendency she recognized in him.

11. He always has to prove how tough he is. Such deep insecurities.

Bibi Netanyahu knows this and exploits it to get what he wants.

So Trump was the first person to ever use the MOP in combat, and he dropped 14 of them. He wants to think of himself as Truman nuking Japan but comes up very short.
