Trump Explained in 1955
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
― Joseph Heller, Catch 22

Exactly. He's an empty shell, a poseur.
Like many rich kids, he probably figured out early on that life is all about money--he had it and everybody wanted it. He could buy whatever he wanted. He learned that rich white guys like him are the deciders; facts and truth and all that egghead stuff is for losers without the money to buy whatever they want so he never came to respect them. Hard work can develop character in a person but he's never had to do any. Money isn't everything--it's the only thing.
