Trumps problem is he doesn't stand for anything. He was an emotionally abused child by a tyrant barron father, was given the keys to the kingdom through his unimpressive educational performance, then literally given the keys to the Trump forture, ran that into the ground numerous times, and is really only a standout in his field for his insane branding of everything Trump. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is 10X the business builder, and love or hate him, he took his dad's rag and assets at a time his dad was jailed and destroyed publically, and set off on an impressive, if not also villain, plan to restore his family name and destroy all that hurt his family, including the other family members who turned on Jared's dad. And, most famously, the prosecutor turned gov of NJ turned deposed transition leader Chris Christie, who prosecuted his dad and had some rather choice words for the media about the Kushner family name. So, back to Trump...his children were mostly raised by their moms, and if they were in NY, they lived a life of a twisted Diff'rent Strokes in 68th floor penthouses with more rooms than they had cells on their body. Trump destroyed the family fortune but rebuilt because anyone with that level of power can always rebuild. His most brilliant move was to convince the world the Trump brand was golden...he sold the NYC development world the same bill of goods he sold us. He has never stood for anything but himself. His dad was awful to him, and he is awful to most of his kids. But they are driven by a loyalty to the Trump name...branding at the family level...and are stepping out of their comfort zones and beliefs to win. That is what Kushner and the baby Trumps have in common...overbearing fathers who robbed them of a real childhood who they feel the need to protect, no matter what. They view their advocacy as a game to win, not by the content they are having to uphold. Ivanka has been clear on LBGTQ+ rights, but her dad is destroying that. There were family beliefs on climate change that have been discarded in favor of winning.
Except...they aren't winning. They are losing. So they double down. This is a game to win to each of them. There isn't a single deeply held principal in play here. There is no advocacy here. This is about beating the people who they have engaged as the enemy.
Which is why he is most dangerous. The person who believes in nothing is the hardest to contain.
