Maybe not moral insanity just brazen bull (I propose the unit of 1 Ph* for this kind of thing, subdivision to be determined)

Now he also wants to rename the already renamed Gulf of Mexico after himself. But will he do after renaming Greenland? How will he call America?
If he was still alive, this guy instead of Kim Jong Un would probably be his role model (although he'd be unable to poperly pronounce the name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saparmurat_Niyazov
*after Phalaris whose main claim to fame was a brazen bull.

Purpose: Creating precedents. If His Orangeness can seize ballots now and the courts do not stop him, he will be able to do what he unsuccessfully already tried: seizing ballots on election day.
Red states will try it in any case but then it will formally be in-state and thus not per se unconstitutional (just like gerrymandering and disenfranchising). Let's see whether or how SCOTUS will react. They tend to be rather jealously guarding their stated priviliege that it is THEIR not the executive's right to decide elections against the will of the voters.

ICE has set quotas, and it is easier to fulfill those with non-criminals who're naive enough to trust in the system (and e.g. show up when called upon for hearings etc.) Parents are also easier to get through their children (either the parents get arrested when they come to take home their kids from school or kindergarten or the kids get arrested and used has hostages to lure out the parents).
Which reminds me of Ephraim Kishon. He (being a Jew) was hiding in Budapest at the end of WW2. When the Red Army arrived, he like many others came out to greet them as liberators and found himself arrested and marched in the direction of Siberia. The Soviet general had a quota of prisoners to report to Stalin and took anyone he could get. All the Nazis had gone into hiding, so they were mostly safe. Kishon managed to escape during the march and later heard that in his place a farmer got taken right from his field to get the already reported numbers correct again.

Even if the DHS budget gets slashed, what would stop His Orangeness to just transfer funds from elsewhere*? Iirc he already does so in other places** and SCOTUS has essentially said that nothing can be done about it.
* "Defense" will get its usual boost, so it's not as if there is no money available.
** and refuses to spend funds Congress has specified for use.
