npub1qggcwktj6esw3u7gd9dekkmv0v068uvfg6jltdplrayr49sh922qkhpvfw (npub1qgg…pvfw) I've been thinking about your post (the recapitulation of your 2016 Facebook query) on and off for the past week.
You asked (not sure if it was rhetorical), "Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods?"
It seems to me the answer lies in whether the precondition for any moral system (even enlightened self-interest) is recognizing that others have a claim on you. This is an area where Trump seems wholly deficient. Only adulation or groveling matters.
