I remember last year: the press took Trump literally but not seriously (and was surprised with the result), while supporters took Trump seriously but not literally (which is why he still has supporters).  Sounds like the analysis is taking him both too literally and too seriously as a leader.  
He has obviously taken on a role he is not fit for - I still cannot believe that he ever really wanted to be President - just famous.  Meanwhile the US has Congress and other safeguards in place to hopefully protect us from major mistakes...
