One of the Dandy Warhols was talking about Dubbya in the early 2000's and said that America was going through their medieval stage and are suffering through a dumb inbred child on the throne.
Trump is by that standard, a half-witted Joffreyesque spawn of incest most foul. A spiteful, malignant narcissist overcompensating for a massive inferiority complex (and the more he overcompensates, the wider the chasm becomes, so the worse he gets).
Sure Trump gets most of his spewing points from the alt-right (or his white pastey ass), and they in turn get most of their spewing points from Russian trolls, and yes, there are issues with things like the Powell memo, the Federalist Society, etc., etc., etc., and any of the Heartlandish 'Institutes', but I don't think there's a coherent Unlluminasty out there, Trump's just a beacon of stupidity. He sucks it up and flares it out for all the world to see, like a black hole that only worked on dumb matter.
