6. With Trump FEAR is the point. Woodward made that point many times in the last two days.

With Trump's henchmen, fear & cruelty are the point, particularly with Bannon keeping the base riled up over the "power drama" they need to feel a part of. (Trump leaves the cruelty part up to his extremist promoters like Bannon, Gaetz and Greene these days, now that he's infected his base.)

Look at the Nazi hierarchy to see the different levels of soft and hard force and fear that were used.
