Word out of D.C. is that the second version of the Donald Trump adminisration is different from the first one.
The pundit class suggests that this version of Trump came into office prepared for the rigors of the office, whereas the first time around he entered office with nary a clue about anything.
The difference appears to be that Trump knows this time what he wants to do and is going about his business with ruthlessness and callous disregard for how it affects the people whose lives he is changing.
That’s better than before? Hardly!
The area where Trump remains horribly ignorant is in understanding the limits of his power. Whereas the first version of Trump didn’t know what the hell he was doing, the second version of him knows what he wants … but then issues orders as if they have the force of law.
The don’t.
A president cannot summarily fire public service employees. Nor can he dismantle a Cabinet office created by Congress. Nor can a POTUS ignore willingly an order issued by a federal judge. Nor can a president demand a judge be impeached just because he or she issues an order that angers Trump.
It’s far worse than a mixed bag with this version of the once-former president. He might be more organized and more pulled together than he was when he stumbled into office in 2017.
He also is far more dangerous than many of us even imagined.
Yet his approval rating is higher than it’s ever been and democrats rating is the lowest it’s ever been. Makes you wonder who Americans are choosing to follow and trust. It’s certainly not those democrats asking their constituents to #takeelondown or those democrats crying because gang bangers were deported. And now the party is eating its own over Schumer going along with the CR instead of shutting the government down as the Democrats wanted and bragged about.
You keep up your TDS and be just like the rest of the Democrats currently in office, for now. If they don’t change their tune, and soon, they may not win another election. I’ve said it over and over that I feel we truly need a two party system to keep our great country in balance. If this is the future climate of our two party system, maybe I’ve been wrong about that. We can’t have one party literally asking citizens to harm their political opponents.
