From what my colleague Rik Schneider wrote about Donald Trump’s 2nd term last month:

“Tom Nichols literally wrote his article about what the next Trump presidency could look like, literally right after Election Night. And it appeared in the edition of The Atlantic that Wednesday. So maybe he wrote it on Election Night, thinking Donald Trump was going to win anyway.

Mr. Nichols would go on to say (and I’m paraphrasing) that Donald Trump and his MAGA crew are simply too old and stupid to try to figure out how to try to transform the American, Federal, form of government, with all of it’s checks and balances, (like any great liberal democracy) into a dictatorship…

From The New Democrat

Tom Nichols would go on to say in his article, as well on social media, that Donald Trump only ran for President to stay out of prison. Had he lost in November, it’s very likely he would be on trial for some Federal felony at some point in 2025, or early 2026, where he end up being convicted and spending the rest of his life under some form of Federal supervision.

Mr. Nichols believes and I agree with him, that Donald Trump isn’t even interested in becoming an American dictator, let alone would know how to even accomplish that. The only way for Mr. Trump to stay out of prison, (at least to guarantee that) was to win back the presidency.

Look, you run for President of the United States, but then you actually have to do the job. And they are not the same things. Crooked politicians all the time tell the voters this is what they would do if they’re elected. But then they get into office and now have more information and change their positions, or never, ever had any intent to do what they said they would do, because they believe those positions are bad positions. Or, they simply just took those positions to get elected.

You could say you would end the War in Ukraine on day 1.

You could also say you will cure cancer on day 1.

Or, wipe out the national debt on day 1.

Build a southern border and that Mexico would pay for it.

Deport all the illegal immigrants on day 1 or within 6 months, or whatever.

But what politicians say to their supporters and what they actually do once they’re in office, in many cases are not the same things.

And we can blame the politicians all we want, whether it’s Donald Trump or anyone else. But to paraphrase George Carlin: we all know where politicians come from and how they elected. They come from the same communities as the voters and elected by the voters. At least in any democratic country.
