Nobody controlled him during first term. He kept firing all advisors and close folks on smallest whims.

Now its much worse, he got more senile, vengeful and he is surrounded by pure yes men, so progressively more and more out of touch with reality. Very similar path to putin whom he admires for whatever f*cked up reasons.
