Former Johns Hopkins University professor Dr. John Gartner warned that President Donald Trump is developing an addiction to war, deriving pleasure from frightening the world and destruction.

Appearing on The Daily Beast Podcast hosted by Joanna Coles, Gartner characterized Trump's mental state as "rapidly declining," with increasingly "inflamed" grandiosity. Gartner expressed concern that Trump is "getting off on" warfare, citing the administration's use of missile imagery spliced with video game footage glorifying explosions.

He noted the White House continues showing Trump videos of destruction daily.

Gartner attributed this behavior to malignant narcissism, explaining that such individuals derive pleasure from sadistic acts of harm and degradation toward people, institutions, and countries.

"My fear is that Donald Trump is getting off on this," said Dr. Gartner, "He is getting sadistic pleasure from scaring the world and blowing things up."
