Only during a Trump presidency: White supremicists scream "White Lives Matter" with mock torches

4. he's a solipsist.  no shame in having to google this one.  i'm familiar with the term but it should be googled to get a full picture of what it means.  like narcissism on steroids but more delusional.  it definitely fits and it is worse than being a garden variety racist in many ways. racism can be cured with the exposure to people of other races.  you don't see too many racists in sports.  some, but not like the in areas without diversity. anyway, solipsism has an element of psychopathy in someone like trump.

You still didn't mention in any of your descriptions that Trump is a compulsive liar who doesn't believe most of what he's saying.  He's an opportunist who will say or do anything at the given time if it will benefit him in some way.  I don't find him fascinating at all because he's very transparent and sounds like he's full of crap virtually any time I hear him speak.

trump's clearly a compulsive liar.  no mystery there.  but that's mainly referenced in #2, that he feeds the nuts any and all sorts of bullshit to keep them and the media preoccupied so they never know or care that he is fleecing them.  but he gets credit for feeding them exactly what they like (not that it's all that complicated, these are a base (adj.) group of people).

i don't find him fascinating, but what he's doing and why he's doing it.  i mean, to have such a horrible, incompetent, delusional person and compulsive liar as president who absolutely sh*ts on people who respond to their abuse with unconditional and delusional worship is a psychological phenomenon.  it's a wondrous philosophical paradox.

He'll continue to do it until it seems like there's an actual consequence for his behavior.  Until now, he's really been rewarded for it and the lesson to kids is that being a self-interested, narcissistic individual who has no respect for others and acts like a jackhole is the best way to succeed in life.
