I think your insight on Trump's moment of going into a full blown neurosis is dead on. I think that we are witnessing the revenge of the losers in the right wing movements around the globe. It brings up an ethical question of how to make everyone doing a job feel valid.
I worked for a two and a half year period in the household of a billionaire. I can say, quite easily, both love and hate emotions abound when dealing with folks of extreme wealth.
My own ego held me apart, especially during moments of extreme frustration, and often I cast myself as above these folk. These remembered moments show me my own hubris. I am embarrassed by my former reactions to this family and their level of power. I don’t know if I would do better now, probably not.
I remember with much fondness, shared humor with the primary billionaire. Smart people can have terrific senses of humor, and those moments are what I remember most, twenty years later.

While AOC will never be president, she definitely has charisma.
