Without wishing to make too tenuous an analogy, the comment "we’re watching a president who wants to comment on his own presidency without actually driving its agenda or being held accountable for anything he says" reminds me a little of Cameron (remember him?), who only ever seemed to operate as a PR person for 'his' government (i.e. he would talk about what was happening but never seemed to stand for anything substantial).
Quite an interesting theory.
