All authoritarian despot dictators are surrounded by people pledging loyalty. All of whom are potential ENEMIES. Lonely at the top?

Pedophiles unite to strengthen their ability to troll and seduce kids.  They have strength in numbers.  They can set up clubs and they can help each other find victims.

They don't like each other.  

Same with Dictators around the world.  Trump doesn't care about them personally.  He has no idea what friendship is.  He uses people, and these morons, these malignant narcissists, mirror his personality.  He feels comfortable with them because they SEE HIM AND ADMIRE HIM for what he is.  He knows how to impress morons.  No one else is impressed. Everyone else is horrified.  

Just like the pedophiles.  Any time there is a toxic element in society, they tend to glom together just for the sake of survival.
