One working hypothesis is that he doesn't seem to really know what he believes - he's just in it for the sheer ego rush (as were probably many who pulled the lever for him), and will let his advisors and appointees take up the matter of implementing actual working policy.
The scary part is that most of these people (Thiel, Pence, Gingrich, Bolton, etc) know perfectly well what they believe, and have been licking their chops at an opportunity gram the reigns of power, and execute on these beliefs at scale.
That's where the damage is going to come from.
