A) Trump was always a tool of the establishment who posed as an outsider to pacify the populist right, and this is just the planned rug-pull.
I rule this one out, for the most part. It could be naivete, it could be nostalgia for 2016 Trump, but I just don't get that feel from him. I think he really did see the problems, and did want to fix them. He was talking shit about anti-American policies since I was a baby, I think.
B) Trump is a well-meaning shabbos goy boomer retard who actually thinks he’s doing what his base wants...
Ruling this out too. He can't be that clueless. I think he knows he's betraying us, and for whatever reason thinks he has to. Whether that's for selfish reasons like his own safety, or because he thinks the country would collapse otherwise, or something else, who knows. Or maybe he is just clueless enough to think that making the Line Go Up is good for us Americans.
C) Trump actually did mean well and intended to fulfill his promises and deliver for his base but the establishment took him aside and told him they’ll kill him and his whole family unless he got in line and fell to his knees.
Something along this line is my guess, but there's plenty we don't know.

Holy cope. Just admit you fell for it and get your award like me.
