Look, you're preaching to the choir. He is part of the establishment, but there are a lot of parts to the establishment, and a lot of others with enough power to challenge his. Not that I find this anywhere near a valid excuse for his frankly criminal abuses and negligence, but he doesn't have a free hand. He got where he is by pleasing the powerful. It's probably difficult in our time and perhaps any other to find a ruler of a powerful country who hasn't committed criminal abuses and negligence. That's the sort of person who achieves those positions. Now he himself is one of the powerful, but still risks a lot by going against the line, even as president. Is it unlikely that he will change? Yes. But it would still be nice if he did. I believe it's possible, to some extent, though not very probable. Stranger things have happened.
