The cruel, erratic, and contradictory character of Trump's and his coterie's actions is intentional. It's "strongman", i.e., mobster behaviour, to keep opponents in a reactive mode. In its unpredictability it serves as Rorschach test for everybody's fears and anxiety. And people spend their time and energy on trying to make sense of it all and on reducing the cognitive dissonance put upon them. Become a Rorschach test seems to be the most effective tool in power plays, esp. when you didn't gain it fully yet. Sadly, mostly intelligent and knowledgeable people fall for it. In case of Trump this is his main base of opposition.
