Presidential second terms are rarely successful, and on the evidence of his first 100 days Donald Trump’s won’t be different. The President needs a major reset if he wants to rescue his final years from the economic and foreign-policy shocks he has unleashed.
There’s no denying his energy or ambition. Mr. Trump is pressing ahead on multiple fronts, and he has had some success. His expansion of U.S. energy production is proceeding well and is much needed after the Biden war on fossil fuels. He has ended the border crisis in short order.
What trouble? You keep forgetting: Trump does not have to seek re-election and doesn't care what happens in government after he retires as The Greatest President Ever No Exceptions!
ReplyDeleteHe knows very well that he could run a perfect administration and guide the economy to unprecedented heights and the media will report that he failed in everything he did. (Hint: That's what happened in 2020) So why should he try?
The only possible downside for him is losing the 2022 Congressional elections and having the Democrats reduce him to true lame duck status. That'll just give him more time to golf.
