And there is a lot.
But, for me, it is his penchant and desire to divide the American people. It is "division" that our nation cannot handle. It is the most destructive force our nation has ever faced or will face in the future.
I am convinced that if Donald Trump was sitting in the middle of the kettles of hell, he would still find a way to divide the poor souls between himself and Satan.
He uses division as a weapon against his enemies. And, up to this point, it has worked very well for him.

I agree that he cares not who dies as long as he maintains power but it is not working for him.

(14,492 posts)Trump loves the effect it produces with that fascist "us and them" routine started by Spiro Agnew and Limbaugh. They manufacture their own bad guys so they can play victim.
For me, his total lack of empathy for millions of poor Americans, border refugees and migrants with no voice is his most despicable characteristic. That's projected onto the international stage as well, as the Kurds in Syria can testify.
In other words, properties typical of a psychopath.......

(12,870 posts)Now Vlad Putin is reaping those benefits as well, with the asset he helped place in office.
The oligarchs want average Americans at each other's throats instead of working together for our own common interests, because their vast wealth and political influence would diminish.
It's the ancient strategy of divide and conquer.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Russian tyrant is exploiting a weakness inflicted by the greed for wealth and power.
Now, our true power as leader of the free world -- the strength of our ideas and our ability to be champions for Constitutional rule of law -- is being eroded with every divisive tweet and alienated former ally.
Donald Trump is a vile sociopath, more puppet than mastermind. If we can't evict him from the highest office in our land, We The People are truly lost.
We are in an existential battle for the heart and soul of America; for the future of the republic our Founders gave us; and for the sustainability of life on our precious planet.

He has never spoken a true thing, even when it would give him an advantage. He will first and only do dishonest actions, even if the outcome would be better for him to do the honest thing. He is unable to think honestly and justly. He lives, eats, and breathes to cheat everyone at everything at all times.

(53,410 posts)Abusers always start with divide and conquer tactics. Without it none of their other ploys work. Its the number one weapon in their arsenal. And its also very effective. They create an enemy who is the cause of your misery and pose themselves as your savior. Its pretty simple, but it does need to be worked.
