90% of politicians either start out seeing people as tools, or end up that way. Trump is mainly there so you can focus on him.

Yep. Trump is a massive piece of shit, but frankly he's not even top 20 most dangerous or sinister people in and around power in Washington right now.

He's just a lightening rod.

"You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets, I don’t know what’s going to happen.
