Perhaps.

But there are other factors – such as the glacial-like judicial process that benefited Trump as a private citizen will hobble him as president, and thankfully so.

There’s also possible Democratic control of one or both Houses of Congress in 2027.

And of course, there’s Trump’s own incompetence and stupidity, including that of his Clown Cabinet.

Comprehensively, Trump’s second term will be as much of a failure as his first.

Unfortunately, Trump will still cause a great deal of harm and damage – some of it irreparable.
