It's not just Trump, though he is by far the most symptomatic of the problem. It's almost everyone with a modicum of power. They all (ab)use their positions to get as much as they can. Trump is just exceptionally good at this, on a high level. Seeing this day after day after day, in your own life... that kills all hope it will ever get better. The only people who thrive are the ones willing to walk over others' corpses to the very top.

This society rewards psychotic and megalomaniacal personalities and punishes helpful, sharing, caring people at EVERY turn.

How could this not turn out a disaster? We're literally forcing the evolution of evil to rule us in this system.

I think that's very true, we are forcing on ourselves the evolution toward evil as a prime characteristic for success. Especially in the political world, where nowadays candidates don't even try to hide the fact that they are white nationalists or bigots, knowing they can get into positions of power just by being such people.

In Utah our governor just declared that "Diversity and inclusion are the worst evils mankind has ever known." If that isn't a symptom of a sick culture hell bent on driving itself toward extinction, I don't know what is.
