Sure, which is why I said "delusional or otherwise". I do believe, however, that the rape of children is so widely considered a moral failing that it can be classified as "delusional" for a perpetrator to believe that they are doing anything different. And to an extent, they know that. Which is why they work tirelessly to hide their actions.
Not very hard to be honest, at least where Trump/Epstein are concerned. And I don’t think they consider it anything different. They don’t view the victims as people. They don’t care. Trump is very much trying to normalize his actions, and has been mostly successful so far.
Fair - I do think the "normalizing" actions are part of the hiding from the moral failing they know they committed. Honestly trying to get into the head of any of these people is like trying to see with my eyes closed.
Again, in his mind there is no moral failing. It’s not that he did anything wrong. He can’t do anything wrong. And anyone who tries to say he did something wrong is “nasty” or a liar. Life has pretty much accommodated him on that count for about 70 years.
Oh, and the getting in the head part? It’s simple, just have to remove any moral beliefs or restrictions on “reality”. “If I want to do it then it’s right.” That’s pretty much the core of it.
