10. Trump is pretty easy to understand.

Dec 2016

It's his voters that are more difficult to comprehend, mostly because generalizations of a large group of people almost never adequately describe all of them.

Trump was described very well here:
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all

Among other traits:
1. Self-absorbed.
2. Habitual liar.
3. Doesn't keep promises.
4. Constant need for attention, fame and fortune.
5. Vindictive.
6. Short attention span (mentally lazy).
7. Angry when facts contradict his beliefs.
8. Loyal to nobody unless they're serving him.
9. Brags about himself constantly, but fundamentally insecure.
10. Uses flattery and fantasy to manipulate people.
