During his first term Trump said a lot of crazy stuff, but he basically governed like a conservative Republican president. After his near miraculous political comeback in 2024, I think Trump began to believe he was invincible. This term he has had some solid accomplishments: mass deportations of illegal aliens, toppling Maduro in Venezuela with no US casualties, tax reform, reducing crime, bringing the Communist regime in Cuba to the brink of collapse, sealing our borders, completing the border wall, getting rid of USAID, getting foreign companies to build factories in the US to avoid US tariffs etc. But there has been a lot of crazy stuff too: picking unnecessary fights with Canada and Denmark, childish renaming of geographic locations, playing footsie with Putin, too much focus on irrelevancies like his ball room and triumphal arch, unclear policy shifts in regard to the Iran War, initiating the Iran War in a midterm election year, and not enough focus on making the economy better, etc. Most Presidents outwear their welcome by their second term, and that has happened in spades with Trump. Trump fatigue has seized most of the American people, and that goes a long way to explaining the atrocious midterm results.  Trump needs to focus as he did in the first term, or the next two years are going to be very long for him and the country.
