Can’t forget the conceited mindset that’s so common in humanity that everything revolves around humans, so there’s no possibility that things could go against us. What would be the point to the world if we weren’t on it, or plundering it’s resources?
Sure, there’s the folk like Musk and Thiel in his camp that may talk about space colonies, but there’s also the young earth creationists and so many in that vein where they likely just can’t grasp how unimportant the human species is in all honesty, so can’t imagine a world where the world isn’t totally based around our interests.

Insightful. I’d add that Trump is a megalomaniac who wants to make people jealous. He wants his name to symbolize something grand. He wants his face on mountains, dollars bills, and statues. A lot of that might be coming from a sense of mortality.
He is old and has not taken care of himself, his mind and body are failing. If he were 30 he’d be sleeping with status symbols, but all he can do now is watch younger men do the things he’d love to be able to do still.
People tried to kill him a few times. His name is on a lot of lists and undoubtedly very powerful people have made threats. Even without that he maybe has 10 years if he’s lucky. And that whole time he’ll be losing capacity.
So maybe he’s just as petty and vindictive as he seems and he’s just trying to crush the world because younger people make him jealous.
