Republicans can, but may not, learn how to govern from a second term Trump.
What will a Trump presidency look like?
It will look like $36Trillion in debt.
You think a GOP gov’t will cut spending? No way in hell.
You think a GOP gov’t will re-impose the debt ceiling (it is currently suspended) at a level equal to the debt on that precise day? No way in hell. It will re-impose the debt ceiling . . . at something like $40T, knowing it will be revisited in 2027 or so.
You think a GOP govt will cut taxes? Yes, they will. Some insignificant amount for PR purposes — which, btw, will increase the deficit that year, and debt whose ceiling they will find they did not increase enough.
Trump will come to power and assign people to attack the lobbyist culture in DC, and re-assign the senior-most people at various agencies to some duties that do nothing. You can’t fire them. Civil Service regulations prevent it, and you can’t transfer them out of DC, because regulations have a 50 mile limit. What you can do it assign them to meaningless jobs. They still draw their SES-X pay at high levels, but they will have no more power.
Trump can cancel all daily White House news briefings. No more press secretary. All those Swamp filth high paid media folk who fill that room daily will have to find honest work.
THIS is what the 2nd term looks like. There will be no new policy initiatives because $36Trillion says no to EVERYTHING new. Unless . . . you expect no more conservatism in gov’t and new programs to get funded. Conservatism is NO new programs get funded. If you want new programs, of any kind, you are not conservative.
