Chaos favors power and those with the ability to wield power quickly and ruthlessly. It is why dictators stoke chaos and why democracies prefer stability.
It's a trusted technique. Trump wants to fan the literal and figurative flames because he can promise action, look big and central. Others who think first about complex issues, who consider other views and consequences, look weak, indecisive.
It doesn't matter that Trump's promises are fake or that his proposals are immoral or impossible. It makes the autocrat sound like they have answers, or at least that they recognize the problem.
