When I think of a "Sith" type person, I think of people using the "force" to serve their own benefit, or to advance a certain agenda while a Jedi would be doing things selflessly for the benefit of the people around him.
They can actually be masters of diplomacy, and be very charismatic, while only seeking to only advance their cause. I think the "Illuminati" would be a good example of sith if you believe in that sort of thing. You would never be able to tell who is doing good things for selfish reasons if they are smart about it, and that's what makes them so dangerous in the politics world.
But like I said, This post might be 99% bullshit because I'm not an expert. I'm sure a few of the posters here who call themselves sith will chime in soon.

Your being a Sith. Those are coercion tactics. We each have sith and jedi traits within. They key is the balance of both aspects into a functional human form that is capable of both compassion and self preservation simultaneously.
What if I didn't know that being friendly had a chemical reaction? What if I was just a friendly, smiley, nice person?
Am I still being a Sith, or do I become a straight up, salt of the earth, genuinely nice kinda guy?
Does saying "Bugger off, I've got a headache, and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out" make me more genuine and honest? more Jedi?

Nope still bring a sith but your also just being a flirt as well. Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from the law!

Warning: Spoiler!Trump is not a Sith or a Jedi. He is an Oompa Loompa. When he ate some experimental candy at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory it made him grow big - all except his hands. Some say he's not a native born citizen but this is not the case. He was one of the first Oompa Loompa children born in The US. So he is eligible to be president. Considering what his makeup specialist is up against they're doing an outstanding job.

Or he's just a man - a flawed, weak and, I think, misguided man, but nevertheless human just like you and I.

Fear and desire are aspects of the psyche of both Sith and Jedi. The question is : does one use one's knowledge, focus and wisdom of the Force to free oneself from the fetters of the ipseitic "I" (ego) or does one use the same knowledge, focus and wisdom to empower it ? In our age of "personal empowerment" self-improvement psychology, we let ourselves get much more easily seduced by an attractive model of altruism which is much more Sith-inclined than that which is acceptance and courage based of the Jedi.
Even the Sith can be seemingly very benevolent and generous, if one acquiesces to what they have deemed good and right and just. And once one agrees to that - saying "no" to the Serpent but "yes" to the System -, then one is trying to get back to a regular 50/50 "fairness" of a well-oiled yet quite life-less machine.

Things are too far left, so Trump is sort of what was needed to bring the country back to the center.
I would dispute this claim
the countries politics, atleast as far as the two parties are concerned have been steadily moving to the right since Reagan.
The mentality of "SJW" on college campuses and other parts of the media is disturbing however.
