Is he really manipulated? By outside forces? His cabinet and the rest of the GOP and hundreds of all american evangelicals, not to mention the tech oligarchs seem to be very happy with his ideas.

They're happy because there's money to be made.

And Trump is manipulated. Since he's so feeble-minded, and never was intelligent, it's now by the last person he spoke to. So whoever schedules his calls has huge power.
