It’s going to be a long 3-and-change years if someone doesn’t realize that “move fast and break things” is not a good way to run a country.
It’s already been a long 5-years since January!

Whole lot of dipshits think that Taco is just "shaking things up" - and that that is a good thing.
Because something something argle bargle "he's not a politician" and "uniparty" and "at least it's not the status quo".
I know, it's so very fucking stupid. I've heard them say these kinds of things even as Taco has done things that is actively harming them in nearly every way, except they get to watch him "owning the libs".
Its ok, we can just revert to the last release right?
I have a savegame from 1980 pre-election; I'm Edge of Tomorrow-ing that until Regan doesn't get elected and we see what a world without deregulation and Clinton hollowing out the US with NAFTA looks like.
Taco ruins everything.
A lot of shit just became far more expensive overnight.
And it's not China that's hurting... It's our closest allies, and/or American consumers.
What a fucking idiot Trump is. What a complete and utter goddamn fool.
Not just Mexico. At the moment, 25 postal services of the world stopped shipping parcels to the US for the same reason. And not just little fringe services, but among others the biggest services in Europe.
Republican mind thought: There's a problem that we can work on and fix it or make it better? Let's just get rid of it and make everything bad. They should have been able to figure out how to close the loophole vs just getting rid of it. But no, that would take some cogitation and the boys with the (R)s, well they don't like that.
Taiwan Post just did the same.
