His actions have bottle-necked us down to two main scenarios.

Either 1. We didn't realize how dependent on GOPe bureaucratic know-how he was in his first term, and with them now purged, we are seeing the true potential of a clown-show presidency.

or 2. He's concluded that his enemies will never stop hounding him and trying to put him in prison, and so he's securing a retirement for himself in Moscow (read: RussiaGate became a self-fulfilling prophesy)
