There are a couple huge differences between the Orange-2016, and Orange- 2024.
(1) Trump came out with a plank that said he would reduce the deficit. The actual result, he increased quicker and more severe than any POTUS in history up to his point
(2) He had several other points that indicated that he would govern as a conservative. Since he was a blank slate, and though a party jumping one at that, we like Flounder in Animal House ...... "Trusted Him"
(3) In 2024, Trump has taken off the mask, and is squawking about silly shit like Freedom Cities, subsidized baby bonuses, and Jetson Cars. My best estimate is this will add about $15T to the national debt. Which is probably about what Pedo Joe's GND stuff will cost. Trump is dying to become another FDR.
(4) The Orange minions are banking on the "binary decision" argument (like 2016) as we approach November 2024. Hopefully, we will not play Lucy-Charlie Brown Football, and come to our senses, and put a real conservative on the ticket first.
