            As we enter 2026 and Dondal Trumps second full year of his second term as president, it is quite apparent that Donlad Trump bamboozled millions of people who fell for his Make America Great Again con game.  First of all, the slogan Make America Great Again is not original, Trump plagiarized it from another actor/fraud president named Ronald Reagan.

Trump like Reagan claimed to be a conservative, a singularly focused put America first kind of guy. He made bombastic hyperbolic promises to bring back manufacturing, industrial capacity, jobs, investment, he would fix the economy, reduce inefficiency reduce the trade balances, restore America to global primacy and bring in an era of peace and prosperity. Well one year in, none of this has manifested or transpired. In fact, just the opposite has unfolded. The only prosperity we see is the increase in billionaires and the wealth Trump’s family is amassing under his presidency. Meanwhile the average American is seeing his or her standard of living decline, their savings and wealth eviscerated and their sense of security and confidence weakening every passing day. Trump’s reckless, wishy-washy policy decisions are a major concern domestically and around the world. Much of what he’s done is blowing up in his face like one of Wiley E. Coyote’s contraptions and gizmos.

Trump ran on a platform of peace. He said he would end the forever wars, work to establish peaceful relations within the world community and create a renaissance of American greatness.  He said he would end partisan use of the DOJ as a tool of persecution, he promised to release the Epstein, JFK and MLK files. So far, we aren’t seeing any of this materialize.

Trump has gone totally rogue; arbitrarily allowing essentially an advisory committee he called DOGE make unilateral changes in government, terminate employees and stop funding programs Congress already voted appropriations for, he has brow beat the chairman of the US Central Bank to pressure him to reduce interest rates which would be disastrous for the economy, he has activated state militias and sent them to L.A., Washington D.C. Chicago and Memphis without being requested to do so by the mayors of those cities nor the governors of those states!

 On the international scene, Trump bombed Iran merely on the say so of Israel a pariah nation engaging in genocide, ethnic cleansing and blatant hostility towards its neighbor states. He is bombing Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia and engaging in piracy in international waters and he ordered the invasion and kidnapping of the duly elected president of Venezuela and his wife. Trump threatens to take Greenland by force and suggests the US annex Canada! He imposes unilateral indiscriminate tariffs on countries around the world and failed to keep his promise to broker peace in Ukraine.  International companies and corporations are not flocking to the US to build factories because it is far cheaper to operate oversees using slave labor and face fewer regulations that cut into their massive profits.

 In the New Year Trump is threatening to bomb Iran, he is engaging in economic warfare against Cuba and he must know his actions against Venezuela is a provocation against China who is that nation’s main trading partner! Trumps he is a law unto himself! These are not the actions of a sane, thoughtful person.  His behavior has even caused a split in his MAGA base. Trump is a narcissist; his arrogance, bluster and bombast would be clownish and comical if they didn’t portend dire consequences for the US and the world.

His actions are further dividing the nation and causing angst among US allies. In short Trump has become an agent of chaos and discombobulation, many of his actions are not just arbitrary and reckless they are unconstitutional. Keep in mind this was the first year of his second term, we have to endure three more years of this madness, if his insanity doesn’t blow up in his and our faces like Wiley E. Coyote.
