I do not buy Trump is a nihilist, though he may've pretended to be one on TV once.

Because there is CLEARLY ONE THING ... that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to Donald Trump.

And that thing is ... Donald Trump.

You cannot be a true nihilist and a complete narcissist at the same time, they are in many ways mutually exclusive philosophies.

Now ... sick and dangerous? Oh, of course, absolutely.

But it's not because he thinks nothing matters, it's because he thinks only HE ... matters. And he thinks he matters a GREAT deal.
