This guy seems to be trying his damnest to piss away what good will he had at replacing an administration that was derided for pretty much the same actions.
This is the time when politicians pay back their masters, before the next election gears up. This gives time between pissing people off and then having to convince them to vote for more of the same.
Gives a good reason to remove term limits; keeps folks from proposing silly things like this, knowing that they won't be held accountable by the electorate as they can't run after their term is up.
Of course that takes an informed electorate, which...well that's another topic entirely.
