How’d this one go?
You’re not a dumb guy, and personnel is policy. “How might Trump 2.0 go differently” was not that much of a puzzler I think.

Why would any rational person believe that 2.0 would mimic 1.0? What part of ‘there are no adults in the room this time’ did we miss?
This is post-hoc rationalization.
Did you think four years of simmering resentment would create a cabinet *less* insane than what was left at the end of his last term?
