10. Of course, it's not doable, but he arguably wants to proclaim it, or the insurrection act, and then blame someone else

for the disaster he brought on, and for preventing him from "I alone can fix it" (0) because nobody else is competent enough in his eyes.

He's all about claiming the world, causing immense confusion and disruption, crises (1) and then taunting everyone to back him down, which he often does.

When he "fails", it's always someone else's fault, whom he vilifies. It's a psuedopodic ego , (2) and sociopathic behavior.

So, nothing is impossible to him. Observe his absolute disregard for the law and humanity.

In summary, it's all about being the center of crisis, always being "right" and others always preventing him from solving crises. Real or imaginary.

(1) If you read works by Anne Wilson Schaef, such as "The Addictive Organization" or "When Society Becomes an Addict" crisis mentality is one of the behaviors exhibited. He also fits many others. The addictive process also describes cult and mob behavior patterns.

(2) Paraphrasing Schaef, The pseudopodic ego ... absorbs and incorporates differences into itself, owns these differences, and then uses them to perpetuate (itself). In other words, his ego projects onto everyone, and sees only himself. Others are useful for a while (need I even mention wives? ) and are tossed like dingleberries when their usefulness is deemed over. Rudy?
