Dude is legit messed up in the head IMO. He's capable of expressing his will at times, but others I honestly don't think he is lucid.
During his first term they came up with a rule at the Pentagon that a written and signed order from the white house was required before any unexpected action would take place. That rule came about because Trump would be ranting and give verbal orders that were unexpected and arguably dangerous (and given to the wrong people) .... and the next day he would not remember / deny he gave them.

Some members of the armed forces would refuse such orders, others would follow them. In terms of patrimonialism, Donald is the country and the country is Donald, not just in his mind, but also the true believers. Therefore, there won’t be a universal sense of 5 USC 3331 preventing the following of such an order. That oath will merely be transferred to Donald in the minds of the committed, and part of what will aid this is principate.
