People like Trump base their whole morality on the idea that it's only okay when they do it. Rules for thee and not for me.

I shouldn't have to explain why it's morally wrong to think that way but I will anyway. The categorical imperative. If you can't logically will it as a universal rule, you shouldn't do it. It's hypocrisy and only works if the world literally revolves around you. You should always remember that from the perspective of the next person, you're nobody, you're some random fuck. If another random fuck isn't allowed to do it, you have no right to do it either. Who the fuck are you? Self-centered morality is completely illogical. If you don't want others to do it to you, don't do it to others. If you murder people, you're saying you're okay with living in a world where people can murder and that means you can be murdered. Unless you're so stupidly self-centered you think it's okay to follow completely different rules than everyone else in the world.
