Actually, he wants to undo what has been done in previous decades. His aim is to MAGA. He is going to set things right.
His aim is to be worshipped as a cult leader, notice how he rewards those who kowtow and punishes those who don't. Where have we heard that theme before, oh in church, yes of course in church where subservience is rewarded to those worshipping the mighty one and hellfire to the rest of the rabble.
