Ideologically this started with the '1971 Powell Memorandum'... It was furthered with the ruminations of Milton Friedman which places Corporate Profits over any Social Responsibility... The foundation of the Heritage Foundation, and other Right-Wing Organizations, date from the 'Greed Is Good' Reagan Reign... The Far-Right never really goes away, it just retreats temporarily... As I said before, there is Deep-Anger in the Land, and the Oligarchy uses Social Issues, and Wealth Disparity to further their Maximalist Agenda...
Thanks for that. I'd never heard of the Powell Memo. Don't forget William F. Buckley's God and Man at Yale (1951). It's theme is the idea that a few people are important and everyone else is an opportunity to be exploited, or a threat to be neutralized, and otherwise irrelevant, aka neoconservatism.
"They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds." —Mexican Proverb
The urge to prey on other humans, or to eliminate them, runs even deeper, and has been salient in extreme right, left, racial supremacist, and theocratic hellscapes.
It has been Speculated that Humans have derived from Chimpanzees, and Bonobos... Chimpanzees are very Tribal, Territorial, and make War on each other... Bonobos are Pacifistic, and Communal... Didn't Jane Goodall at Davos say that DJT reminded her of an Alpha Chimp?
A troupe of chimpanzees is a fission-fusion society. A chimp social system is a mother and her juvenile offspring. A human social system is an internally interdependent and externally independent group of humans, which for many thousands of generations, and until about four hundred generations ago, was exclusively a hunter-gatherer band. Today, the human social system is civilization.

Trusting Trump is like Putin "trusting" Prigozhin. The shelf life of such trust is very short when push comes to shove, and his usefulness declines too far.

Trust Trump to be viciously self-serving.
