Donald Trump was recently elected to a second term, narrowly defeating Kamilla Harris. For the first time, The Donald actually won more votes than his democratic rival. In the first year of his second term, however, there.have been three “No Kings Day” demonstrations, the last one involving in excess of seven million people. And we’re not even at a quarter of his (hopefully) last term!
The Founders of this republic designed a brilliant Constitution, with,in my view, a significant weakness: they set an excessively high bar to ridding the nation of an unsuitable Chief Executive. Trump was impeached three times during his first term, none of which came close to removal from office. Obviously, no attempt would be made with his party controlling both houses of Congress, despite his currently unpopularity, Buyer’s remorse!
Remorse from what? Let’s start with his cabinet. Pete Hegseth, reformed drunk,( maybe), at Defense ( no, it’s not War, at least not yet). Master of the open mike. Dragging top brass halfway around the world, for a dog-and-pony show starring Himself and POTUS. The coverup with Justice regarding good buddy Epstein. At HHS, we have RFK, Jr., inviting measles and other diseases back that we thought we had eliminated. Buyers remorse!
Then, we have Donald the Builder. Didn’t need the East Wing, anyhow. I guess he’ll put his name on whatever gets built – old habits die hard, after all. No, we didn’t need to wake Congress up with this trivia. By the way, are there any plans to open the government any time soon? I know, I know, private money is financing this boondoggle. What has been promised to whom? There is no such thing as a free lunch. Buyers remorse!
The centerpiece of the Trump economy seems to be tariffs. What this moron doesn’t seem to grasp is who pays the tariffs. Yes, he earned an MBA from an Ivy League school, but there is a belief out there that Daddy paid someone to take several exams. Buyers remorse!
Yes, I mentioned some structural weakness in our Constitution, namely, the near impossibility of correction of a mistake once a President is elected. In many other countries some parliamentary procedure exists to declare a “no confidence” vote to remove a chief executive. Even then, we are stuck with Hillbilly Elegy. Buyers remorse!
This by no means comprises all the stuff we’re entitled to regret. Yes, we have a long way to go. One more time, now: Buyers remorse!
