Trump is nothing more than an ego driven grifter and vandal whose entire “career” is based on his notion of ‘success”, which is having boosted his own ego by skirted and broken the law to screw other people. Actually enriching himself is merely incidental to the ego boost of skirting the law and screwing other people, which is why he made no real money, went bankrupt many times, and in all likelihood maintained his appearance of wealth with shell games and Ponzi schemes. Of course it is inconceivable for him that there could be a common good or a non-zero sum game.
In fact, he likely define success in such a way that the best game to him is a negative sum game. If he merely swindled other people, it would not stroke his ego as much as if he also got away with destroying some of what he can’t convince himself he had taken by fraud.
He is not just one who trashes the institution of the state for his own power and position. He is a down right vandal who derive satisfaction from destroying what he did not create.
