With Donald Trump, it’s not at all difficult to know what he’s thinking. All one really has to do is take a look at Truth Social, Trump’s true confessional toy, his “diary,” so to speak. I take care of that, so you don’t have to. In his latest diary entry, the madman has once again embraced QAnon. He reposted a video that was originally posted by a Q-follower.

In said video, Trump was “integrated into imagery affiliated with the conspiracy movement.” These images were edited to make it appear as though Trump held a card – a playing card — with a Q on it. And, of course, the eerie and disturbing “WWFIWGA” slogan — Q’s slogan — was present.

It really does look like Trump has gone all-in on Q. But he isn’t doing it for the reasons the cult thinks he is. And we all know that because, unlike Q, we’re NOT a cult. Trump NEEDS Q. He needs someone — anyone — to worship him. Trump, awash in bright and shining victim mentality, simply cannot stand not being adored.

Remember the story of Narcissus and Echo that I’ve used as symbolism before? Trump is the living embodiment of Narcissus. And Narcissus was doomed. He died staring pitifully at his own reflection.

To Trump, Q is an extension of himself. They worship him, but he really doesn’t care why they do. It’s enough that someone — anyone thinks he is special. Trump’s self-esteem is zero. He may be the loneliest being we’ve ever come across. He might be the loneliest man in the world.

Of course, he doesn’t want anyone to know that. But the aching void within him is an endless chasm that can never be filled because he has nothing to fill it with. Therefore, only outside attention will help.

But like any drug, once the “high” is off — which is happening quicker and quicker for Trump — he needs more worship. Q means nothing to Trump except a day’s worship. The one who constantly brags about being loved does not have the capacity to love himself — nor anyone else — and he never will.
