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

    I think he's gonna get even less done than last time. Fill the white house with sycophants, go on tour, let the deep state run things themselves, and claim credit for anything he can.

    I mean, what else can he do? Exempt everyone in the top tax bracket from income tax? Hey what's this spinning machine I'm standing next to...

    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"
