I think calculating is better to describe the kleptocrats. Their heartlessness is almost a given. All people outside of their agenda 2025 are merely chattels and subordinate to their program. Denying the right to vote, to health, to unionise and to live a productive, fruitful life is all part of the ruination of democracy and its replacement by kleptocracy.
They also can be calculating AND heartless. You are correct, Stephen, that their heartlessness is a given. Those with compassion, humanity, moral compasses need not apply and donтАЩt have a place in the regime.
Heartless is the right word to describe Trump and his thugs.
