What if there was only two things that drove Drumpf: self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment? What if he's not racist, not because he's against racism but because he has no moral compass to steer him toward or away from racism.

For people who have any sense of morality at all, it seems almost impossible for any person to be amoral, to simply feel nothing about morality and be truly sociopathic. The people who knew him, did business with him (or at least tried to, as a recurring theme was that he was so utterly lacking in integrity that neither handshakes nor contracts constrained his actions). His word meant nothing. Not to him.

So what was this tone deaf, impossibly stupid noise that was emitting from his yap? Others more qualified to explain pathologies have, and will, provide better explanations, but consider that the narcissist truly believes his golden tongue can somehow talk his way through the middle of a situation so that he can walk away making everybody happy, feigning concern for the bereaved without alienating perhaps the only group who has anything nice to say about him?

Like most insipid thinkers, Drumpf assumes others parse information like he does. If it works for him, it must work for you. And if it doesn't, then it's because you are wrong, you don't "get it" like he does, further entrenching him in his own bizarre narrative. The depth of his compensation for his Impostor Syndrome precludes his ability to recognize that his mad rhetorical skillz didn't cut it. After all, he got himself elected president spewing empty nonsense and attacks. He must be smarter than everyone else.
