36. Frankly I think what Trump gets off on is domination
Sat Jul 4, 2026, 01:25 PM
Saturday

Domination of everyone and everything in his orbit. Look at his relationships. Two of his three wives were illegal immigrants. His various affairs consisted of prostitutes, porn stars, children or women who needed/wanted his favor. All people he could dominate. I suspect this applies to male partners as well, and yes I think he's had a few of those as well. What's more domineering in his mind than taking some big muscle bound guy and bending him over.

Look at his language, always with the trope that some guy, big guy, strong guy, tears running down his cheeks when he approached Trump. Or how he constantly uses the language of domination when dealing with some group he perceives as opposing him.

Frankly I don't think Trump can get it up anymore, and I'm sure that frustration is now shaping his world and his actions. But that doesn't lessen his desire to dominate people. That's why you hear the derogatory, sexist and sexual language he uses. That's why you see him pawing at musclebound fighters, after all, if you can grab women by the p*ssy, why not do the same with men, it's all part and parcel of his same worldview, domination.

I don't doubt that his cheese is quickly sliding off his cracker, that's been obvious for years. But I don't think think that's what is driving his interest in big beefy guys. I think that drive has always been there, it's all part of the same overarching drive, domination.
