I’m not sure being able to get away with breaking laws much more easily than most really makes one “lawful”

You know how in Skyrim if a guard catches you breaking the law, you can just give him gold and he’ll fuck off and let you keep stealing?

It’s lawful like that.

So in other words, neutral evil. He’ll exploit the law to further his selfish goals like the rest of them, but he also has zero hesitation to ignore the law when that suits him better, which precludes any “lawful” alignment.

The propensity to prioritize self over many many others when it would not be any real loss to do so other than a line on a graph…that tips it from neutral into full (technically) lawful evil IMO, but severe moral evil. If you could do good but enrich yourself at someone else’s expense instead, that’s premeditation and a qualifier for crimes just sayin

Musk and Trump are chaotic evil.

Chaotic feels more appropriate, since they’re only really predictable if you try and think of the absolute dumbest possible thing they could say or do at any given moment.

Hey. Trump probably isn’t really a billionaire and has managed to get charged for crimes even though his former job made him legally above the law. I don’t think lawful evil is the correct alignment.

Definitely Chaotic Evil, have you ever read his 3am rage tweets?

Nah, he’s textbook neutral evil. He’ll sometimes break the law to his advantage and sometimes exploit the law to his advantage. He doesn’t give a fuck either way.

You think these folks are lawful evil? Trump has 90 some indictments against him.

He’s definitely not lawful, but I’m also not sure he belongs on a billionaire chart.

Lawful != Following the law of the land Lawful means your justification for your actions is within the bounds of a strict personal code or creed.

Yeah, and Trump doesn’t seem to have one of those either. But I chalk that up to the brain worms more than anything else.

He has a creed: loyalty to himself. He talks about it all the time like he’s some mafia.

Obligatory: ‘lawful’ alignment doesn’t necessarily entail not committing crimes, only adherence to some sort of code.

But yes, Trump doesn’t do that, either.
