A Fortnight of Trump

From John Scalzi:

What’s really remarkable about the Trump administration is that we are literally in week two, and its managed to have enough scandal and constitutional crisis for an entire year of a normal administration. Hell, even Dubya, the former modern low benchmark for incompetence, stretched out his nonsense. Now, you might recall that I predicted this the last time I wrote about Trump — I said we’d see a hundred-day “Gish Gallop” of nonsense from them (to the extent the Trump folks had any plan at all) — but it’s one thing to say “yup, this is going to happen” and another to see it in full effect in just two dizzying weeks.

I don’t think this is sustainable, and I don’t mean in terms of people’s ability to protest (more on that). I mean that, while it is prudent to plan for four years of Trump, I’m going to be surprised if he lasts that long.

One thought on “A Fortnight of Trump”

  1. I have lost so much faith in the American people as well as what little I had in the GOP that I think I would be more surprised now if Trump didn’t last 4 years, except perhaps if he stepped down on his own because he didn’t feel like doing the job anymore. This will truly be a test: how bad can it get and how much can we tolerate?
