Aaron Rupar: Trump's daily chaos circus is already back in full force

Mediate publishing a police report detailing the horrific rape allegation against Pete Hegseth. RFK Jr. apologizing after CNN unearthed comments he made on the radio calling Trump supporters Nazis. Matt Gaetz withdrawing from consideration as attorney general shortly after CNN contacted him for comment about a second allegation of sexual misconduct with a minor.

That was just Thursday morning.

Before the day was out, Trump had landed on a new AG nominee — Pam Bondi, a former impeachment lawyer for Trump best known for nixing an investigation of his business when she was Florida AG, conveniently right after Trump cut her a $25,000 check. That sort of blatant corruption would be a big deal in normal times, but normal times these ain’t.

Yesterday was a jarring reminder of what most days felt like covering the first Trump administration, which I did as a correspondent in DC for ThinkProgress and then Vox. There was never a dull moment, but there was also never one without at least a vague feeling of dread. I still vividly recall the overwhelming sense of relief that washed over me when a disgraced Trump got in that helicopter and finally left the White House for what I thought would be the last time. It was a surreal four years to cut my teeth writing about national politics. Having watching it up close, I knew we were lucky survive it. Voters learned from their mistake, and we would never go down that path again.

Even as Trump laid the groundwork for another presidential run and rolled his way to the Republican nomination, I truly believed America would reject him once and for all at the ballot box this year. I felt that right up until the returns from Georgia started coming in and that familiar hollow feeling returned. The circus was coming back to town, and Americans had put the clowns in charge of everything.

3. Yes, I'm really dreading four more years of this.

I wish I could have back the precious hundreds of thousands of minutes I've spent thinking about this person. I'm planning ways to avoid making the same mistake this time.

4. "Voters learned from their mistake..."

Clearly not, making the mistake again.

A malignancy was growing for the last four years unchecked by the sound public policy and responsible governance of President Biden.

And now that malignancy once again threatens America – the malignancy of a corrupt, incompetent, criminal Trump administration.
