6. He's always been an anti-social, pathelogical brute, but now he's being used to sheild younger pathelogical brutes

Been thinking a lot about that episode of Star Trek, the one with the Nazis and drugged 'leader'. I won't let Trump off the hook; he has spent a lifetime abusing others for profit, but now he has become the worn out tool of others like him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_of_Force]

"Patterns of Force" is the twenty-first episode of the second season of the American science-fiction television series Star Trek. Written by John Meredyth Lucas and directed by Vincent McEveety, it was first broadcast on NBC on February 16, 1968.

In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise tracks down a Federation observer on a planet dominated by a "Naziesque" regime.
