I agree it's not a real democracy. If a president ever order strikes on Israel they would not obey it and over ride presidential powers. But I think they are using him more than like him and will discard him and his family at one point. For them it's shifts controversy away from them towards him and his family for policies they want to implement. The Venezuala thing and Greenland is to me imo a oligarch goal to acquire more resources and cement US monopoly on North America and to counter Chinese influence there.
They may be using him for many reasons, including to see what Russia and China are trying to trigger in the US, where they want to weaken the US and its influence, discovering hidden channels, etc....
It sucks for the average person as world won't be friendly to the average person in the next decade and it sucks for weaker states that are going to swallowed up by larger powers if they don't adapt. New alliances could form. Or existing ones take new form.
But I don't quite yet have evidence to say the oligarchs want to burn it to the ground or an global cabal exists to do so.
