Just like the body, for which there are many unconscious functions (like your heartbeat, breathing), the mind has many unconscious functions (98%!). The conscious part is good at higher functions—dancing, cooking, making love.... https://twitter.com/bessieglass11/status/1245911170386513921

But the unconscious part is unrelenting when it comes to survival—imagine the reflex to breathe were someone to try to smother you.

But when this unconscious part goes awry, as in a disorder, it may attack the wrong target (consider autoimmune diseases, for example). There is no difference with the mind.

Donald Trump goes back and forth, sees how effectively his subconscious undermines others or brings destruction, and delights in it. He hence brings the forceful impulse for survival, together with criminal intent, which makes his mind a dangerous combination.
