Professor, do you think this new term will be subject to the usual issues that accompany a President's 2nd term or is he likely to have the clout of a 1st term President? Given he's said this was his last run, a statement reinforced by the physical realities so visible recently, would that cut his power, for example?
Another significant thing Trump did the first day was fire the administrator of the General Services Administration, which hadn't yet ruled whether it was legal for him as president to hold a lease that said "No member or delegate to Congress, or elected official of the Government of the United States or the Government of the District of Columbia, shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom" on the building where he was running a hotel frequented by representatives of foreign governments. (They decided it was OK in April, and it was established as a principle that the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses of the Constitution didn't apply to him, or just didn't matter any more since they couldn't be enforced—the pervasive corruption of the Trump administration was pretty key.)
Seth, your second point is on target, it is a result of fight, fight, fight until you win. The President has held steady in the fact that our country is being overrun by illegal aliens and has the full backing of real American. I know we are going to systemic change as a result of his great efforts. And as far as crowd size and getting people to say what you want, the first is I’ll relevant and the second is great leadership.
