For the most part, he has no idea what he's doing and I suppose his handlers like it that way.

Unfortunately, I think he's correct. The Trumpster has become a willing conduit to the machinations of others, men of bad faith and worse intentions.

He keeps it up, he'll throw the world into a disastrous war.

21. I have the same intuition

I have the same intuition. He is already laying the groundwork to contest and undermine any election results that remove him from power. He has no plans of ever leaving office to face prosecution. He will manipulate the public and the machinations of our government institutions until he is PHYSICALLY removed or incapacitated. It's a very scary situation we are in. There is no evil this man won't take part in to retain his gilded throne.
