I feel like his first term benefitted from his administration being wholly unprepared to govern, as witnessed by the numerous stories of there effectively being no transition plan for a vast majority of departments.
The only real policy victory his first term was the TCJA. Otherwise, it was a lot of bark, no bite.
But now with four years to prepare, they came in barking and biting like hell.
Ironically, losing in 2020 gave MAGA time to create a game plan which we’re seeing in action now. A second Trump term right after the first would have been more effectual than the first, but not to the degree we’re seeing now.
