What's different is that he wasn't surrounded by spineless yes men in his first term. His administration was full of gullible fools who didn't initially recognize him for what he was but aside from that, many of them really were "adults in the room." This time, Trump made sure to surround himself with mindless, spineless idiots who will just happily do his bidding no matter how insane it is. That's the only difference.
I just mean i've never seen him so aggressive before... warmongering, in the guise of peacemaking. I'm not American and I've never followed him or his politics closely before, but this time round feels very different... here I feel I have to watch his every move like a hawk, waiting with baited breath for whatever fucked up thing he might do next that could have catastrophic consequences for the world.
I agree that Trump was a dangerous idiot during his first term but this time he is absolutely manic in churning out executive orders and letting Melon Husk hack into data at every turn.
Every day here there seems to be another list of truly frightening things coming out of the Oval Office.
Wonder what's going to happen when the unemployment numbers skyrocket from the "You're Fired" frenzy. I am pretty sure it will be blamed on Biden and the Democrats.
Until someone has the balls to stand up to him, we are well and truly fucked.
So far, I will grudgingly give him this one thing...he can do away with Daylight Saving Time before he runs out of Sharpies and I won't complain.
