Trump is all vibes, zero policy. The people working for him are zero vibes, all policy. With Trump being the complete reverse of a workaholic, his fours years in power ran on the wishes of his appointees. He was curtailed when in power.
If Trump actually liked working and writing laws, he'd have probably legalized marijuana.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoTrump's first term was basically another 4 more years of Bush. Without leadership from the top, his mostly Bush-era appointees kept doing what they did before. His second term will be filled with fanatics rather than Bush-era appointees.
- seabass-labrax 2y agoI don't manage to keep up with Republican party machinations - please could you explain why the Bush-era staff won't be there if Trump is elected again?
- eropple 2y agoBecause most have left, either retired or disassociated from Trump and his movement. Trump's running as hard as he can (which isn't very, he isn't convincing) from the proudly published (and terrifying!) Project 2025 stuff, but they aren't running from him, and there are reasons for that.
- philistine 2y agoYeah, I failed to indicate the risk of a second Trump presidency.
- bonzini 2y agoBecause they had enough of Trump after 4 years. Dick Cheney is voting for Harris, that's the equivalent of Norman Osborn voting for Peter Parker.
- cynicalpeace 2y agoHilariously, Trump effectively legalized marijuana accidentally in the 2018 Farm bill. https://thehill.com/homenews/4564181-2018-farm-bill-hemp-cannabis-attorneys-general/ https://thehill.com/homenews/4564181-2018-farm-bill-hemp-can...
