In many ways the key comment from Trump in the clip that reflects his philosophy was: "why would anyone be good, unless you believe you need to because of God and heaven/hell".
As opposed to almost everyone else including atheists who have worked out that being non-selfish results in a better-functioning society, and that game theory can show how people who behave badly can be discouraged in a functioning society/world via punishment or societal pressure. The fact that Trump has never received significant punishment or societal pressure to push back on his antisocial behavior is the problem.
It's really interesting. He lies so easily on some things, but he can't lie that he is a believer/worshipper/fearer of God. He can only talk of his support from believers. My guess is that his malignant narcissism makes it impossible to imagine or speak of anything more powerful than himself.
Cheap Shots - all I can say about that is I have a better relationship with God than Trump and I'm an atheist.
He also loves the poorly educated.

Spot on. In his mind he is God.
And the guy who says different is the liar, even if he has a staff, a white beard and can throw thunderbolts.
Yah, but heтАЩs wearing, A DRESS!
Trump thinks he sees God every time he looks in the mirror.
