It's not totally his fault.  He was given so much through inheritance that he has no idea what most go through to make something of their lives.  All he's ever had to do is throw tantrums and bully subordinates to get deals done, and even then he's been a massive failure on several occasions.  

Outside of his father, his mentor in publicity, Roy Cohn was one of the most raging bags of human feces ever to live.  No moral fiber in his body and zero regard for law or ethics.  He was a straight up closeted homosexual man that outed other homosexuals in order to publicly shame them for being gay.  That's what made Trump.  The cash daddy made and the tutelage of a wretched walking turd-crusted asshole.  Once the image and bluster and pettiness are removed, he's got nothing to offer.  A fake of the highest order.  

Before him, Cheney was the right wing boogeyman of choice.  Even so, if you know about the guys life, you can see a cunning, skill, mastery of policy, and work ethic that got him the power he wielded.  Even if you hated him, there was something there to respect.  He was a drunken loser that got his shit together, bided his time, and became very powerful.  I see none of that with Trump.  I can't believe people still buy into this guy being anything of substance.

Trump is exactly who we all knew he was before the election.  Some wanted to "give him a chance" to "grow into" the most powerful office in the US.  The rest of us knew from his public life that a 70+ year old man wasn't changing.
