Trump is a narcissistic abuser. He gets off on is gratified by social interactions that reinforce power and only power, and thus hurting his base—and making them abase themselves, like when he contradicts himself and they jump through hoops to ignore it—is doubtless tremendous fun.

Then again, I’d argue most of the brass of the Republican Party ultimately believes in some kind of inherent hierarchy, and views a large number of people who vote for them as deserving of suffering. The common shared theme of their spirituality and their material philosophy is that kind of distinction.
