His actions are more directed than he immediately appears. He receives political support for his seemingly inane actions, monetary support for his atrocities, stacks politics in his favor through debasement. He’s not politically savvy or crazy, he’s just willing to use the tools afforded to him in ways that most people would reasonably consider to be major violations by every conceivable definition.
He incarcerates and deports statistically oppositional citizens to prevent them from voting against him. He steals money because he’s certain no one will stop him. He sells the US to donors to maintain his base of support.
He’s not all there in the head, but is clear headed enough to seem somewhere between “he really shouldn’t be driving anymore” and “it’s good that he can still do his hobbies.”
TLDR: he’s just old, coddled, dumb, awful, and maneuvering politically in ways that benefit only him and like 60 other people. Still sane, for now
