I believe the chances of Trump returning to the White House are virtually nil.
But in the highly unlikely even he does return to the White House, here's what's going to happen. And feel free to mark this post.
Trump is gonna go full libtard. Yep! You heard it here first.
A lame duck from Day One, he won't need his MAGA base anymore. They're of no further use to him. Under the bus they'll go. Jared and Ivanka will move back into the West Wing to ensure his administration is ridden of those embarrassing MAGA types just like they did the first time. After all, they'd like to once again be welcomed back into the Manhattan social scene that they were ostracized from. Ivanka has no use for Walmart-shopping Magadonians. She's not one of them.
So now Trump starts working with Democrats. Why? Because even though he's a lame duck, he still has the business empires that he'd like to pass down to his children someday. So he cuts deals to sign favorable legislation in exchange for the throttling back of the lawfare that's been draining his pockets.
You don't think Trump will sign an assault weapon ban? I think he'll do it in a heartbeat if the quid pro quo is right.
There will be no retribution. No scorched-earth vengeance. There will be Trump shifting to the left to save his own hide. It'll be Christmas for Democrats.
His prior actions on initiating a ban on bump stocks would support your prediction. He used administrative power - deep state power - to make that happen.
But in the highly unlikely even he does return to the White House, here's what's going to happen. And feel free to mark this post.

I mostly agree. Trump would rule as an establishment Republican. I predict he'll...
* Push for more aid to Israel. It'll get bipartisan support, favorable media, and lots of cheering.
* Push through a modest tax cut, which he'll claim is HUGE and UNPRECEDENTED. Republicans and Corporate Democrats will support it. Progressive Democrats will accept it in return for Trump caving on some progressive legislation.
* Trump will agree to more entitlements for blacks, but he'll claim that it's actually HIS Platinum Plan for Black America, which he tricked or pressured the Democrats into passing.
* He'll support hate crime legislation to fight anti-Semitism and Islamophobia (his talking points will focus on the former, but he'll quietly also support the latter). He'll barely mention that anti-white hate even exists, maybe a few timid dog whistles.
* He might get a minor increase in budget for the border patrol (but claim it's HUGE and UNPRECEDENTED), but no deportations apart from, at best, a handful of high-profile drug dealers and criminals.
* He'll make some good court appointments. Perhaps the best part of his second term. Justice Thomas will likely be leaving in his second term, and needs a good replacement.
Government spending and inflation will continue to be problems.
Trump will not eradicate the Deep State.
Trump (or DeSantis) would slow the American Empire's decline, but not stop it. They'd both be somewhat better than a Democrat president, but I don't think there's preventing a collapse and eventual chaos. I hope it happens after I'm gone.
