“A measure of American democracy is that the nation has survived and endured bad presidents. Witness Donald Trump’s first term in the White House.
Checks and balances limit the damage, and voters come to their senses.
What’s astounding about Trump’s return, however, is that all signs pointed to a vengeance presidency, with extremist appointments and loyalty paired with a deliberate lack of qualifications as the sole criteria in filling senior posts in the federal government.

Donald Trump's awful nominations are a preview of the chaos, vengeance, and incompetence that will mark his second regime - NPI's Cascadia Advocate
Americans were warned, repeatedly, that another Trump presidency would put a huge number of the nation's most unscrupulous, ethically-challenged people in charge of policymaking and delivery of essential public services. And yet millions voted in Trump in anyway. We're already getting a preview...
