I remember when Trump won in 2016. His victory feels darker this time.
It’s the mood of it, I think. Something that is hard to put my finger on. Gone is the exaggerated Trump of 2015 and 2016. All I see when he speaks and acts is a man who clearly has vengeance on his mind.
Take the Capitol One Arena rally last night, for example. He signed Executive Orders in a rush in front of the TV cameras. The spectacle isn’t Trump being goofy and unorthodox anymore. The spectacle is Trump flexing his power in front of everyone who ever challenged him.
He’s a man with nothing to lose at this point. And I’m not sure what that means for the country.
