The president of the USA, Donald Trump exhibiting one of the actions he likes the best, namely executing POWER
Revenge is fascinating, but according to The Bible, it's not permitted. Several Bible-verses speak of how "revenge belongs to God, and not humans". However, being humans we may want to revenging ourselves when we feel wronged, and Donald tRump obviously loves a good, successful revenge against those he sees as his enemies. Actually, he goes a bit further than just revenging himself, as he also expects others to identify with him and his wish for revenge. That's like widening the borders of his personality to encompass everybody else, who thus are expected to feel as one with him. It's utterly narcissistic and not likely to happen in what we might call "real life", but in his delusions and sick imagination it's simply "natural": The way of the world.
In the first official campaign rally for the 2024 Republican nomination he vowed "retribution", not against those who have made problems for the USA, but for those he feels have wronged him as a person/politician: HIS PERSONAL "ENEMIES". He has been quoted as having said: "I am your warrior, I'm your justice. For those who have been wronged and betrayed, I'm your retribution." (This statement was uttered in Waco, which makes sense as that word is pronounced like "Wacko", which means "Crazy", and crazy it is. However, it's obvious that he has no intentions of stopping his revenge tour, and that he expects everyone to follow and support him).
The Trumpian delusions made me think of someone else who went through with his revenge plans, not by ordering arrests, deportations or sacking people, but by killing them single-handedly: Dr. Anthony Joseph Garcia who set out on a murder spree that cost the lives of four people, two of them totally innocent, but somehow connected to former colleges whom he felt had wronged him: A house maid and an eleven years old boy. They lost their lives, but had done nothing to deserve what he did to them. Some years later he killed a married couple - both of them doctors - who had been colleges of his, and when he was finally arrested the police found a list of other former colleges whom he seems to have planned to kill. The "logic" of this was that he was sure his career had been ruined by his dismissal from a job at a hospital because he seemingly didn't do what he was assigned to do. Also he was seen as flippant, and mean, even evil tempered.
With Trump it's obvious that he is projecting his hatred out, expecting to see his supporters siding with him in his revenge binge because they also should feel what he does. It's different with someone like e.g. Garcia, who may be just as unpleasant as his colleges have said, but who doesn't expect support: He is the lone avenger, whereas Trump is like a general of an army out to get even for real or presumed slights, that in reality only concerns him and his bloated ego.
Just like Trump, someone like Anthony Garcia doesn't accept rebuffs of any kinds, and a death sentence sure is a 100% "rebuff": He was convicted on several counts on October 26, 2016, and in 2018 he was sentenced to death, but I feel sure that he still sees himself as the victim, not the criminal who went on a murder spree, also targeting absolutely innocent people, like the boy and the house maid.
