Most trumpkins I know believe in devine right. A sort of manifest destiny. Like the jews. Probably others as well.

Some noteworthy observations, we are dealing with a social pathology here, Trump and his pathology is one side of an equation,
narcissistic collusion is a good descriptive of the process. We've seen this movie before in history, too many times.

"There are many people, of course, who don't see anything wrong with Trump," she says. "On the contrary, they adore those traits that we see as pathological and believe that they make him a great leader. They elect him because his pathological character traits best suit their agendas, namely the destruction of the existing socio-political structure and their 'enemies'—typically The Others—whom they blame for their life failures."
"As I write in 'Trumpian Victory,' she continues, "Trumpism is about rage and revenge: rage that stems from aggrieved entitlement, but also from the very real wounds, and the revenge on those who are seen, mostly erroneously, as responsible for those wounds...Malignant politicians will steer people's anger away from themselves and other responsible parties, and blame it on easy, vulnerable scapegoats—immigrants, refugees, minorities, women, eternal Others."
In her writings, Mika also talks about "collective narcissism" and "
narcissistic collusion" to explain the bond between Trump and his base, who see in him a way to fulfill their own dreams and wishes.
"He makes them promises that he cannot and does not intend to keep, but it does not matter," she says. "What matters is maintaining the shared illusion of their glory, future prosperity, greatness, and scapegoating The Others for their misery—the last one an absolutely necessary component of the malignantly narcissistic leader's appeal."
