Sure sure — he will get some of his nominees through the Senate, but there is zero chance now that the Senate will wholesale go on vacation for perhaps six months, so he might make interim appointments, like Matt Gaetz [now ash-canned].

Here’s how Paul puts it:

“…Trump was an unpopular president. Maybe this time will be different. Or maybe he will impose high tariffs that will lead to greater inflation than that which plagued Joe Biden. How popular Trump will be a year from now is anyone’s guess…. Trump [won] the popular vote by only about 1.6 percentage points and his share was a hair less than 50 percent…. Trump’s electoral victory… depended on very narrow margins in the “blue wall” states….”

That’s no mandate — no landslide.

And I’ll predict that Mrs. McMahon… will not be the US Education Sec’y, when the dust settles, after the Senate asks her about the allegations in several lawsuits, that she and hubs sexually assaulted underage girls — who wanted to become professional wrestlers.

I’ll also guess that Dr. Oz, and Mr. Kennedy may not survive a term of more than one year, in the public health roles. The FDA nominee has a better shot, as does the prospective Treasury Sec’y.

But mostly, since Tangerine is almost immediately a lame duck (no honeymoon!), and the nation is divided — and many of the Senators will not face election again, until well after Trump is gone… very little may actually get done on his various “concepts of a plan” for much of anything. [Most of all, I predict there will be no mass deportations — the military will be enjoined immediately, should anyone even wish to do what Tangerine bloviates about.]

But there will be a daily circus — as there was in 2017 to 2021. And he will engage in various forms of personal grifting. Think golf club stays, here — for hundreds — at his own resorts, charging top dollar, for every crappy room. That graft (alone) is likely to eclipse $250 million, by the end of his term.

Count on that.
