Vengeance is different to cruelty. He is not doing to hurt others. He is doing it to make himself feel better. Which may seem slightly better until you realise: that means there is literally no way for him to fill the void and therefore stop.

Trump is not, as most people believe, obsessed with money, or power. One thing drives him: respect. He needs, pathologically, to be seen as ‘the best’ ‘the strongest’ ‘ the richest’ etc. at the moment, the current obsession is ‘the toughest’ he frames all by presidential decisions by that.
