Every great magician needs to be able to distract your attention in order to pull off his or her stunt. He needs to keep talking about and pointing to another subject so that he can take your wallet from you and then surprise you by giving it back. That is unless he's something of a criminal and his intention is not to give it back at all.
Some politicians are adept at such magic. They enact legislation in opposition to the best interests of his constituents by constantly pointing to and talking about something that is far more unpleasant, or some imagined enemy trying to do far more harm to you or himself. In the politician's mind, he has convinced himself that he's doing you a kind service by taking your rights away from you in order to better protect you from dangerous alien invaders from the south.
At the same time he's causing foreign allies to find dealing with him to be nearly impossible while long-time enemies are befriended. Then again in order to distract you once more, he names news media to be the enemy because of the fake news they point out, such as the deeds and promises he has previously done and given. Any other magician, or politician who does not pledge allegiance to him will find that he's a mean spirited foe. He can get almost any politician who is not for him fired for being against him.
Such a person lives only in our imagination. He does not exist. No such person could rise to such a lofty position as to be able to cause such disruption. Such a person would have to be a superb actor, filled with greed and self adoration. Such a character would be named Donald Trump.
