The use of inconsistency you described requires someone to already have power. Otherwise, why would people bother tracking their current opinion?
The article feels like an excuse to discuss politics, under pretext of discussing AI safety. I get it, you don’t like Trump. But how much of what he does is unique, and how much is a case of “our politicians are charismatic leaders, their politicians are manipulative demagogues”? For example, does the pattern “publicly joining our side is the way to stop attacks” not happen in woke politics? Or that yesterday’s dogma is today’s heresy? (That is, even if Trump is a rare type of a demagogue, still a subset of what he does could be “business as usual”.)

I am using Trump merely as an illustrative example of techniques.
My more immediate concern is actually the ability of China to shape US opinion through TikTok.
