TL;DR: Trump is disinhibited, perhaps pathologically so. Sometimes this has served him well; at other times it has led him to walk into trouble when others would have the sense to shut up. In his first presidency his impulsive urges ("can't you just shoot them?") were moderated by professional staff who would not always act on what he said. Trump hated this and Project 2025 is largely about ensuring that, in a second Trump presidency, the govenment at all levels is packed with Trump loyalists who will put his every order into action. So next time he orders protestors shot, it may happen.

MODERATORS
We have language to describe Trump, and have had for about a century.
Fascist. Nazi. Psychopath.
Or we could go with much older language and call him incompetent, insane, crooked, twisted, sadistic, power-hungry, evil...
It's not that hard.
Rapist, fraud, sociopath, pathological liar. There’s more.
Let's settle on 'cunt'
He has neither the warmth nor depth.
He's multi-faceted; he has many qualities
There's an age range, maybe 10-13, where girls have developed the decision-making portion of the brain but boys are still working on it. At these ages, boys are more likely to make decisions based on instant gratification, then fiercely deny any wrongdoing and reject any blame.
It's like Trump never developed that part of his brain.
His frontal lobe is like that of a young teen boy.
trump isn't the first...
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
