Can Donald Trump fulfill the expectations being placed upon him? In his first term, he recommended drinking bleach as a remedy for COVID-19.
Donald Trump spent more time on the golf course than in the White House and made 30,573 false or misleading statements. Statisticians across the U.S. are still busy discussing the statements that stretched the truth.
How can Trump keep his people happy for four more years? In the first week of his presidency, Trump will withdraw the U.S. from NATO, end the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East, and Sudan, get rid of all left-leaning media, suspend the Constitution, institute a requirement to bear arms, subdue China, and conclude a pact of mutual assistance with North Korea.
But then what? His followers and opponents are expecting him to make at least 100,000 false statements this time. That would be almost 700 per day, almost impossible even for Trump. For him, the worst of it is that he may just go ahead and win the election, and Joe Biden may just go ahead and acknowledge his victory. Is he then supposed to claim that the defeat was stolen from him?
