I think there's a pretty good chance he'll flip. He's in so much hot water with the Russia connections - he'd probably take a deal he can't refuse in order to avoid legal trouble. His base thinks he's great - he has them hooked - he just has to give them a tweet of praise now and then, remind them "they won" and they wouldn't care if he flipped. They wouldn't know because they're getting the alternative facts. Maybe I have watched too many movies.In theory I agree with @Kimmio that he could flip, for exactly the reason she stated. He has no personal convictions or ideology. He loves the campaign, loves being the centre of attention, loves the cheers of the crowds. But in practical terms, I don't think he can switch too much, because if he did he'd lose a significant part of his core and he wouldn't get credit from those who oppose him now. I agree with @chansen that he has to stay the course he's set, whether he really likes it or not.
I suspect that he doesn't much like governing because he can't necessarily get his way easily. As the head of a family owned business he could basically do whatever he wanted. He spoke a word and it was law in the Trump Organization. I think that's why he likes Executive Orders so much - issuing them gives him the sense that he's back running his business. Except that he has courts and Congress and opposition parties and media getting in the way constantly. I suspect that it must be frustrating to him. I still have this nagging feeling within me that he really didn't want to win. He wanted to run for president, but not actually be the president.
If I were looking at this in a really machiavellian way I'd point to his campaign as evidence of that. To me he just kept deliberately getting more and more outrageous, almost as if he was inviting - even begging - people not to vote for him, but the more outrageous he got the more people jumped on board with him, and eventually there was no way out for him.
I have also read a lot about narcissism recently. His base is his supply. He'll dump them later for better (for him) supply but keep them on the line just in case. He doesn't care about them.
