I actually suspect there are lots of hard-right people perfectly willing to debase themselves, but Trump saw last time that anyone competent would eventually tell him, "No," and that's what's driving all of the current insanity.
He’s a hilariously weak and thin skinned laughingstock. Famously stupid. Doesn’t get how dumb the lies sound because he’s been trained by a lifetime of sycophants.
When he has to perform outside his bubble, he doesn’t understand why the world laughs at him. He’s desperate to be taken seriously.
