  1. His father’s brutal, emotional abuse and psychological coldness. Several times throughout every hour of every day, his father’s voice rings inside his head shouting, “You’re a f*cking loser, Donald! Everyone knows you’re a fraud!”
  2. Public humiliation of any kind to the point that he tried to violently end American democracy and publicly hang Mike Pence rather than admit he lost the election and Joe Biden would be replacing him as president.
  3. Sharks. He hasn’t entirely submerged himself into any body of water since the 1970s, particularly because, once he started balding, his elaborate hair combover and follicle implants started taking two hours and two cans of hair spray to mold into a shape roughly resembling normal hair.
  4. The unveiled reality that he is not rich, and has been beholden to foreign oligarchs laundering blood money through his international properties all along. He is terrified the interpreter from his private meetings with Vladimir Putin as president will leak details of how he begged Putin for loans in exchange for selling out Ukraine and NATO.
  5. One of his many wives or mistresses poisoning him. He has Barron try any drinks or foods Melania gives him as insurance against Melania spiking it with hemlock, arsenic, or some other deadly toxin.
