Trump is just a hungry ego that's never filled. His motives are for abnormal psychology to explain, but it's obvious that he is a narcissist sociopath with an infantile mental development and a desperate need to be loved that has and will never be met. He's a mentally ill dope.
The rest of the circle are just the typical stuff. Bannon is an ideologue. He's the Goebbels of the administration -- he believes in the white nationalism and xenophobia he spouts. He's the closest thing Trump has to an actual Trump Supporter near him.
Roger Stone is a conspiracy con man like Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, or the late, great Art Bell. They get off on the notoriety but mostly they've found a way to vacuum money from the rubes.
Kellyanne Conway is just a paid flack like Sean Spicer. They're getting a paycheck and opening up an endless future line of credit on the RWNJ circuit. They'll be writing books and booking tours and appearing as special consultants on Echo Chamber shows until they literally die on set atop a heap of money.
Paul Manafort is a paid agent of Putin. He's a traitor, by any definition of the word. George Washington would have executed him.
Jared Kushner is setting up Ivanka to play Marine Le Pen to Donald's Jean. Unless Trump is convicted and imprisoned someday, she will run some time in the 2020s, and she will likely win the GOP nomination assuming it is still a billionaire's cesspool.
