How are we to understand the interplay of Donald Trump's malice and his incompetence? I think the malice is a function of the incompetence operating through insecurity, assuming his defining trait is fecklessness in relation to worthlessness. He's so scared. In his bones he knows he's an idiot. He knows he's a piece of shit. He knows there's nothing there.
The aggression and the need to constantly belittle, degrade and dominate everyone is meant to disempower them and reduce the threat because he knows he's inferior. He can't feel powerful. If he could he would. But he's trying. By belittling others because power is relative. Being below Trump means being utterly degraded and inhuman, the complete loss of freedom a self-determination.
