And, so, it
begins—again! Only this time, with new vigor, improved efficiency, and an
all-encompassing agenda. Following his four-year layoff from 2020-24, in which
he licked his wounds while still dominating the media, Donald Trump’s second
presidency has already witnessed a blizzard of executive orders, pardons for
fascists and criminals, promises to roll back the welfare state, overt threats
to American democracy, and actions that endanger the well-being of the planet.
This flurry of activity reflects the sobering truth that, while enough
intelligent people expected him to win the election of 2024, no one believed
that he would win like he did.
