For giving him the benefit of the doubt. But he has been a douchebag for decades so I had no such expectations. I don't think he wanted the job because of the actual work. I do agree that his attention span is short so complicated matters of the various branches of government are challenging for him. He also hates to be challenged so the various bans as well as the issues with the Senate and even his own party make him want to hang his head against the wall. He loves the power and having his ego fed.
