My own view is that 90% of politicians worldwide are self-serving [insert whatever noun you deem appropriate].

But Trump is a different animal altogether on account of his psychological frailties, which make him much more dangerous.

He is Bojo to the power of 10 and if the people of the USA vote him into power it says more about them than it does about him.

I've been arguing since I first studied political economy and economic history at uni 50 years ago that the last thing any country needs is democracy because the people, generally, are too thick to know what's best for the country.
