I’ve never believed that Donald Trump cared about anyone’s race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. He seems to care only about their personal interactions with himself.
I think he cares about wealth, celebrity and military rank above all else. You need to be pretty high on each of those scales for him to take you seriously.....or you need to be endorsed by someone high on those scales.
I also think he respects physical attractiveness in both women and men. He told a story in Rick Reilly’s golf book about a fight he had with a guy at a golf club, and he kept calling the guy “A big handsome bastard.” It occurred to me that he would have seen punching an ugly guy as beneath him.
