  • Two fiascos from Trump's first term - family separation and the failed Obamacare repeal - could foreshadow similar missteps this time.

The article from HuffPost discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump winning a second term as President, focusing on the risks of overreach and the mistakes that could arise from his administration's approach. It highlights concerns from various political analysts and former officials about Trump's possible actions, including his tendency to prioritize personal loyalty over competence, which could lead to significant governance issues. The piece mentions Trump's previous term where he often clashed with the norms of democratic governance, suggesting that a second term might see him more emboldened to enact policies and make decisions with less regard for checks and balances. There's a particular emphasis on how Trump might use the Justice Department for personal vendettas, further erode democratic institutions, and potentially engage in more aggressive foreign policy moves. The article also touches on the fear that Trump's second term could be marked by an even more significant disregard for legal and ethical standards, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis.
