1. The goal is to make the US very violent and ungovernable.

And to showcase that democracy is a failed system of government.

2. That makes sense, who else in the world would make this as his goal??

He already alienated our traditional allies the last time, now he's working to alienate the rest of the world.

3. Who benefits from making democracy look like a failed system of government?

The GOP benefits and can enact laws giving them more power and to rig future elections.

China and Russia benefit and can rise to power as the US loses power.

4. We now are governed by a "leader" who committed crimes that would end anyone else in prison

And he's far from done yet!
