The GP post is a bit simplistic, but it's roughly right.
Trump inspired politics is about personal exceptionalism for the very rich, reassigning blame to others, especially the bureaucracy, but also anyone who disagrees, objects or regulates, breezily brushing off any sense of accountability and treating people with less power or privilege poorly, often to the point of cruelty.
