A flagrantly dishonest president meets a deeply incurious conservative base

    “Donald Trump becomes president today.

    And even though he campaigned for a year and a half and then served four years in office and then campaigned essentially nonstop through four years of Joe Biden’s presidency, I have remarkably little clarity on what he actually intends to do as president.

    Which is not to say that we’re completely in the dark. He’s not going to champion higher taxes on the rich. Whatever he and RFK Jr. do under the slogan “Make America Healthy Again,” it’s not going to involve substantial new agribusiness sector regulation of the sort that farm-state Republicans oppose. The one thing we really know about Trump is that there’s usually less to his bizarre policy pronouncements than meets the eye. When in doubt, he tends to default to not actually doing anything or else just enabling conventional right-wing politics.

    But there really is an incredible amount that we don’t know.”

    The same as it was last time and always is with an R in office: deregulation, winding back on civil rights and liberties, disregarding international law/“protocol”
