There are 55 days until Donald Trump will raise his hand and swear the 35-word oath that all

presidents have taken from George Washington on. He will promise to do this time what he

desecrated last time, which is to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United

States.

This is the warning.

When we get to the end of Trump's term, I have some predictions.

He will be one of the most unpopular presidents in American history.

His four years will be a failure.

The economy will be a disaster, and the security situation around the world

will be terrible. It will be dangerous. American forces will be in harm's way, and everything

that Donald Trump said that he was going to do will be either left undone, have resulted in a giant catastrophe, or had the opposite

effect of what he was intending. During the four years, Donald Trump will go on a deregulatory

binge. The federal government is too big. It is too sclerotic. The remedy to it isn't smashing it,

but that's what Donald Trump will do. On the other side of this is a chance for renewal,

for Democrats, for progressives. Progress is the key part of progressivism. Pears Morgan,

while denouncing the view and calling for its cancellation yesterday in the pages

of the New York Post, made a number of claims from London about America and the American

majority, which he is dead-ass wrong about. Completely. A great many MAGA personalities and commentators are suggesting

that we have entered a new age of Trumpistan and that the American people have bequeathed to

Donald Trump all of their decision-making, all of their agency for all time. Daddy knows best,

and he'll make America great again doing whatever he wants. This is

fantastical. This is not what happened on Election Day, and the American people will not stand for it.
