My impression of Trump is that he's a showman with crazy ideas, but ultimately not organised or determined enough to see them through. On his own, he might flail about and go round in circles a bit like his first term. Undeniably, he is good with the public.
The thing that really terrifies me is the people who attach themselves to him, thinking they can use his mandate to push their agendas through. Because there seems to be plenty of skill and determination, paired with objectives I find repulsive. I suspect it is those people who really push, or at least permit this process.
Why aren't senators stopping this? Why aren't judges? I suspect they all think they can use Trump to achieve their own means.
I suspect that in the end Trump will destroy anyone he thinks is getting in his way or using his name to get ahead, but the whole process will cause tons of chaos and pain the US and beyond.
- JuniperMesos 1y agoA lot of senators and judges are trying to stop various aspects of the Trumpist poltical agenda. And in turn the Trump administration is working against those senators and judges, to the great approval of the MAGA base. There are a lot of people who really want the objectives you find repulsive, and they want the elected officials they support to smash through the opposition of the elected officials (and judges) that you support. In a democracy, it will often happen that different elected officials supported by rival factions of citizens bitterly fight each other for control of what policies the state actually carries out.
