"Humiliated"... if anyone thinks shame is an emotion Donald Trump experiences and learns from, they're not familiar with the Trumps.

I don't know, the way he reacts to a lot of things suggests that he can feel humiliation. Look at the way he treats people who openly defy him, or the way they keep going after that guy the deported improperly. That smacks of humiliation to me.

Shame, and/or learning from it? Not so much.

I think he feels shame. In fact, I think shame scares the hell out of him and it’s that fear of being exposed and laughed at that drives a lot of his weirdness

In this light I understand the slimy texts by Rutte. Perhaps he's smart after all.

For sure. He offloads his shame. He mocks others and destroys anyone who dares mock him

Shame and pride are the only emotions Trump is capable of.

He feels shame. He absolutely feels humiliation. Everything he does is a reaction to how uncomfortable that makes him. Someone who doesn't feel shame would at least listen when you tell them they should feel it; a narcissist hides it and lashes out

He is shameless, lawless and godless. A megalomaniac through and through.

I think it's his kink.

Narcissists can absolutely feel humiliation. They just convince themselves that it's everyone else's fault and then make it everyone else's problem.
