Trump is delusional in the crazy sense of the word, and lied like a dog back when theoretically sane.

His handlers are evil and cynical people, who feed his delusions for their own sakes, and even suggest new delusions for him to hold.

Trump is the most widely hated human being in modern world history. He works at that.
