Summary

As Donald Trump prepares for his second term, early indications suggest a far more extreme presidency than his first.

Despite muted resistance and attempts to normalize his return, Trump’s recent erratic Mar-a-Lago press conference signals an alarming shift.

He floated aggressive expansionist ideas, including annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal, while making bizarre remarks on January 6, domestic appliances, and windmills.

Critics warn Trump 2.0 may escalate his provocations to new levels, consolidating power and wealth, as concerns over his unpredictability and global destabilization grow.

    Trump is a master at misdirection, though. He floods the zone with bullshit, on purpose, so the media keeps talking about the crazy shit he says, and not the actual things he does. He won’t do all of the things he talks about, but he can do any individual thing that he wants to. He is hoping to get away with things while we all chatter about the crazy shit he says.

    So now that the election is over and we know we have to tolerate four more years of it, we are better off keeping any public resistance under the radar until he actually takes actions while in office, and prioritize responding to what he does over what he says.

      It will help distract the magoos that voted for this dumbass. They can be “proud” of some performative bullshit, and that plus the likes of Faux “News” no longer screeching about egg prices will mollify the stupid.

    Ah yes, the American experiment: “can the president destroy the country?”
