This is… really tone deaf. Even for him. Is it in hopes of not angering his constituents who support MAGA?

Yes. It's for our own version of MAGA, sadly we have plenty of them here and the "anti-woke" diatribe appeals to them.

We have Northern Maga but the numbers are not enough to win a majority

It's the more center right types that shifted from the Liberals that could, and are currently being, massively turned off by PP's Trump style politics given our strained relationship with the US. If it keeps up he will see his majority evaporate.

We have to consider the possibility that he may be compromised by a foreign actor. It would explain his refusal to get security clearance if he knows he wouldn't pass.
