Probably a psychopath/sociopath. Or at least close to it.
It’s amazing how the US has allowed so many of these assholes to get into power.
In our capitalist system the sociopath will always be favored to gain power. They can make decisions without empathy for how it affects people or the long term, decisions of which help propel them to the top of whatever it is they do. This includes bending or breaking the law. Someone who is not a sociopath, more altruistic, more honest, won’t follow the tactics of the sociopath and therefore has less options to gain power and success.
This is how our society is designed and functions, objectively and undeniably. Also arguably it is part of human nature (competition, survival of the fittest) which is what conservatives love at their core. The fact that we try to overcome this with laws and such is difficult and challenging as we can see here. This person should have never got into a position of power, yet he did. How do we restructure society to make sure this doesn’t happen?
