8 November 2026 - strong team

Why is Trump's second term worse than his first? It's not because he's arrogant in his success, though he is, or because he's losing brain cells, though he is. It's because a stronger team, given four extra years to get organized, assembled itself behind him. It's nothing he could have put together himself. The strong team is able to propose and get approval for and carry out far more stupid ideas than Trump can invent himself.
