The hypocrisy is a power move.

Hypocrisy is a demonstration of weakness in accepting fault and/or being able to justify one's position in the face of contradicting evidence.

The only reason it manages to work for him is because his followers are the manifestation of confirmation bias and are willfully ignorant about anything he says or does that they don't agree with.

Some people seem to have misinterpreted your previous comment as expressing approval. But this disregard for the usual rules and standards is certainly part of the fascist playbook. It and the constant lying and goalpost-shifting are how they toy with their opponents and demonstrate that they just don't care. That's why the far right always speaks in bad faith. They enjoy the sport and it buys them time to load their guns.
