18. He knows, he doesn't care, and will say it's God's will.

He isn’t any more or less crazy than the rest of those evil fucks. He is a salesman at heart and he will do *anything* for the sale. If what he does crosses any lines of decency or evilness or pukingly disgusting behavior, he will simply justify it in his mind as (1) If the cosmic powers didn’t want it done, it wouldn’t happen, and (2) He will chock up anything he gets away with as people are fuckin’ stupid and it’s not his fault they are so gullible.

People in his circle know exactly what he is doing and are fine with it because... he is them, and they are him. I think Trump has honed his authoritarian chops with input from Putin. Putin has told him how to create the atmosphere needed for creating a dictator-State. Trump is a failure at everything, lucky for us, or we wouldn’t have a light at the end of the tunnel as we do now.
