8. He's an idiot who thinks he's a genius.

He’s also a narcissistic sociopath motivated only by self interest and agrandissement.

He knows little about governing other than securing absolute power to feed his ego. He demands absolute loyalty from subordinates, but will cast them aside if it serves his purpose.

Most of these policies are over his head, but he is easily manipulated with flattery by advisors to accomplish their goals.
