Kinda nuts how the only thing keeping him somewhat in-check the first time was the competing self interests of different factions in the White House.
As crazy as it sounds I think that is still happening a little bit. Vance is owned by Peter Thiel while Trump is owned by Musk. There's more overlap in their shared goals but there is still some head butting.
But crashing the world economy so they can buy everything up/be kings of the ashes is something the two corporate blocks fully align on. So hold onto your butts boys and girls, it's going to be one hell of a ride....
True, but keeping trump controlled and veiled led to public acceptance for a second term. If he was full force for the first term, there would be no second term.
This. And covid actually helped him. Esp with the magat nut jobs who insisted his economy was so great. Soo many people wanted to quit but stayed in their positions to keep him inline.

And, to be clear, most of them were also awful in their own ways. They were mostly about self-enrichment rather than installing a new world order.
