In representative democracies, every 4-5 years a government can be elected that changes policies to a totally different direction. This is a feature of the system, not a bug - so no surprise there. When the system is rotten from within, even fascists can get elected.
For me, this is one more proof that reforms don’t work and systemic change is needed. As long as we (the people), don’t take the decision making power in our hands, this is what we’ll keep getting.

So many decisions that are bad for the USA, bad for its people and also bad for its businesses. And the only answer to “why?” is some childish quest to hurt people he doesn’t like.

Or fealty to a geopolitical enemy (Russia).

The goal is to destroy government entirely so that a fully privately owned “government” is in control instead.
It’s all about personal enrichment for Trump/Elon and their friends, and it has always been that way on the right.
