Trump 2.0 doesn’t have John Kelly, doesn’t have Steve Manuchin, doesn’t have any of the Jared and Ivanka faction. None of those guardrails are there, just yes men.
Right. We didn’t make a big enough deal out of the fact that so many of Trump’s staffers from the first administration were either discarded or turned on him. That’s very telling. Now he is surrounded by Yes Men and sycophants
More than Jan 6th, they are just better prepared now. Trump 1.0 wasn’t prepared to make all the changes they wanted to do. Trump 2.0 came with a complete step by step game plan to dismantle everything very quickly and without any opposition. John Oliver explained it in detail.
Trump 2.0 also came with blanket immunity from prosecution for disregarding the law and any court orders he doesn't like provided to him by the US Supreme Court.
John Roberts' belief in 'Unitary Executive Theory', a holdover core belief he's held since he was a Council for Reagan whom he advised during Iran-Contra, led him to side with the other reich-wing nutcases on the Court on a ruling that holds that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the 'core powers' of the presidency.
That ruling has created a monster that no one body or branch of our Govt will be able to easily reign in now. It should be no surprise to anyone that Trump is operating with impunity, because the USSC said he could.
