"Head of state" is very much a job where you get to define your own mission and duties, including "sell cryptocurrency to suckers" and "sow division to exploit". Defining internal and external enemies is a very effective technique for retaining power.

King Charles III, all his modern predecessors and all other European Royal heads of state would rather disagree with that statement! As would the constitutionally elected presidents of most other countries of the world. The citizenry would get rid of them if they thought otherwise. Royals included.

Without meaning to Godwin the discussion, do you know what other constitutionally elected leader made it his mission to sow deep, deep, deep division within his country?

No means of getting rid of a sitting president, other than impeachment (which isn't going to happen either) or, you know, the other one.
