I hope Trump has learned from his first mistakes, namely his hiring of people in his orbit, because in round one he had some real doozies---I recall an oilman as Sec of State was a disadter,; his press conference people were a revolving carousel of characters, and many others too numerous to mention. It is better to see Elon Musk and RFK, Jr especially, getting roles, and he needs a Chief of Staff--I would choose a woman like Rep Susan ......(last name escapes me) from Pa, she is a talent that can control Donald (as she was doing in the campaign--hard as that is to do he is a firebrand that can insult large segments of the population instantly).
I still see him as Don the Con. You can call him a "persuader" but that to me is a con man who will sell you your own watch. He has been selling products galore, more so than in 2020, and where does this money go? Sorry, but I see him as a very styled grifter at a remarkably high level, given he is a financial industrialist from the billionaire class, and he has mad a loot since running for office.
Will his promises be made real? Looks like voters want solutions to the border crisis. I think it became a national issue with so many of them going to northern destinations and NY, and the problems were real. I think Biden made a mistake by repealing the "Remain in Mexico" policy by Trump. No reason to take that one down so quickly. It helped the Border Patrol deal with the large number of apprehensions, etc etc. It looks like this created the 41% low approval ratings for Biden. I embrace their compassion for migrants and refugees in particular, but best pragmatic approach is to process requests from Mexico.
Sorry, I'm trying to be reconciled with this news, and trying to pivot to accept it, like other Democrats are probably doing (I can't vote, but was hoping....).
Trump is so focused on futurism, like all populists do, and needs to deal with day to day realities, and for God's sake stop tweeting nonsense jabs at opponents--it's undignifying for a POTUS and so not funny. Trump lies and exagerates as much if not more than damaging stories he doesn't like, from the so called "propaganda" or "fake news" as he calls it, of CNN or whoever. Deal with inflation and your national debt. BRICS is going to replace American soft powers of lending and influence very soon.
He really needs people more talented than he, in his near orbit, guiding and controlling and counselling him NOW and for the next 4 years. GL, America. You really need it!
