If you're ever confused by Don's actions, just remember: all he cares about is gaining more wealth (and power if possible). This was done to enrich Don and the oil barons who funded his campaign.

I don't remember him setting up a foundation and giving away all his money and assets prior to getting into office!

Though I don't like it as explanation or topic as it ventures into "it's just business" and "business as usual" in a way that normalises it
