[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing worse than sore winners.  Though I doubt most of them will be singing the same tune a year from now when they realize Trump's campaign promises are smoke and mirrors and instead he's just embroiled us in a ridiculous political circus.[/quote]

This is something I've wondered about as the craziness of his second term is already going full throttle and he hasn't even taken office yet. I'm not just referring to all the shotgun cabinet appointments but also already we are getting lots of news of infighting within Trump's inner circle and his surrogates are issuing often conflicting messages to the press. Some of his surrogates like Musk and Gaetz are so much more vocal and all over the place than the people who played those roles last time around. It's already exhausting.

I think a lot of this aspect of Trump as president got overshadowed by Covid and then collective stress over the economy and crime and immigration and people just don't remember what it was like pre-Covid when Trump was creating problems for himself and the US constantly but rarely actually delivering on campaign promises or making anything better. People tend to focus on themselves so this aspect of Trump kind of becomes a blur.

I have wondered if any of the swing voters or centrists who voted for him are watching this unfold and thinking "oh yeah... this guy is messy as AF and amps everyone up all the time and that's maybe not awesome." Even as a Dem who voted for Harris, I'd forgotten what it's really like to just have Trump dominating the news on like 17 different levels at all times and constantly tweeting (er, "truthing") and all these surprise staffing announcements and the constant noisy jockeying for favor among people in Trumpworld. It's exhausting and I can't believe we're going to do it again for another 4 years even setting aside my feelings on policy.

I know the MAGA types love it but there are people who voted for Biden and now Trump and surely at least some of them lament this aspect of Trump?[/quote]
