No one rich enough to be in Trump’s vicinity actually believes any of the glazing they do to him. They’re all executing the very basic strat for dealing with a baby man: stroke his ego -> get what you want.
As far as interacting with other sociopaths goes, my guess is trump is refreshingly simple for them.
He wouldn’t be a billionaire if he were a good person.
But…to his credit, he did publicly say recently that he wants to have given away 99% of his wealth over the next 20y, and says he doesn’t want to die rich. I am ok with making that the bar for being remembered. Provided it’s not to his own foundation.
