92. I think both - he cares about the poor after his own fashion, he just doesn't understand economics
or give a damn about Democracy.

I suspect he genuinely cares about the poor, thinks that the best thing for them is for him to stay in power and continue to pursue his policies, and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure this.

Unfortunately, the policies he's pursuing with the goal of benefiting the poor are extremely counterproductive.
