The US isn't the only country with this issue.

Trump is probably a bit of both, honestly. You don't have to go back 30 years to find a reasonable presidential debate that doesn't seem like a circus act, you can go back 8.
The disconnectedness and AI manipulation of social media definitely has it's share of blame for the state of the country as a whole, but if we're talking about the ####show that elections and leaders have become in America, Trump shares a huge part of the blame.
As they said on the Hill, he's a chaos agent. That's why the GOP chose him, that's why he beat Hillary, and that's part of the reason America is in the state it's in and the role of the President and the election to decide that has become a farce – his sole quality is chaos.
