My opinion is in line with a lot of others in this thread. He was a comedian. He gets elected because democracy in the 21st century is a joke and having a clown run the coming focal point for the world makes God piss Himself laughing. I think he does his best at first and then the west, mostly Britain whispers in his ear about making him the new Churchill. He gets paraded around as some great hero to increase war support, and as he is a egotistical celebrity it all goes to his head and he starts believing the smoke being blown up his ass. Soon he finds out he can just go to all these countries, demand shit, and they just give it to him. Because dick measuring between European countries has always been a tradition and they are all ran by the same people that lead in the cold war with a thirst for ruski blood. The man is an idiot so he's sticking to the hard ass that will invade Moscow any day because it worked for gibs in the beginning of the war. Despite the rapidly deteriorating conditions. Add financial incentive because he's skimming aid money off the top to buy mansions in other countries. Also add in the fact he's too deep and anything than utter victory or azov being genocided will result in him being nailed to a cross. The sum of all that is a manchild who has no idea how to behave around someone willing to tell him "No"
