How Will Trump's Second Term Differ From The First? (hexbear.net)

I think he'll wholly jettison the Republican establishment this go around. His VP is going to be a sycophant, as will anyone else in his orbit. He's going to go on tour holding rallies every other week, talking about toilet flushing water and how they clean coal. He'll piss the Pentagon off by ending Ukraine involvement, and/or saying the quiet part outloud with regards to Palestine - something to the effect of it's ok for Israel to eradicate Palestine because white colonialists erased the natives in America and that worked out well for everyone since now there are Indian Casinos.

What else?

I think he'll legitimately try to deport immigrants en masse, but it might be like his muslim ban where he just keeps fucking it up and trying again

Doesn't he have a lot more court power now then when he attempted the Muslim ban?

Yeah, two Dem presidents seem to have done everything in their power to facilitate the further rightward slide of the SC

I was more so talking about appeals judges and lower court judges.

I could see the first year being the most chaotic. I kinda think he'll be absorbed back into the republican establishment again. He'll definitely pivot to going after China and Iran. He'll raise hell domestically with a ton of reactionary shit. Question is how long will it be until the reactionaries collapse due to infighting?

Nothing will fundamentally change from the past 8 years

Honestly I think the biggest problem here would be the enabling of the Think Tank freaks - Heritage, Focus on the Family, Hillsdale and all that.

I mean presumably the media and libs in power won't back him to the hilt like they did for the first half of 2017

Remember Van Jones saying he "finally became my president" and "our beautiful weapons"

It would 100% be worse. Biden's second term also would be worse.

We will get another covfefe.

It depends on how much of Project 2025 he is able to implement.
