This isn't surprising. He's a narcissistic psychopath. He praised the rioters because he views them as vindicating him, thus providing him with narcissistic supply. He also views them as an instrument of revenge, and as a psychopath (and a sadist), revels in that. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1347023890959228933
This fits perfectly the psychological profile that countless mental-health professionals identified even before Trump was elected.
In any event, what matters now is that he's desperate, cornered, and more dangerous than ever. What's at stake for him goes beyond assuagement of his narcissistic ego; he understands that once he is forced to leave office, he can be subjected to criminal prosecution.
In a speech about a month ago on the supposed election "fraud," in fact, he specifically mentioned the Manhattan DA's criminal investigation, which according to multiple press reports, has been heating up.
Trump is a very dangerous, very unwell man who will do anything he can to maintain power, or failing that, cause maximum destruction. He must be removed now.
