We are not in a presidency. We are in a franchise.

Trump’s return to power isn’t a comeback. It’s a sequel. And he knows the genre rules better than anyone.

There are no policies—just plotlines. No leadership—just casting. Every crisis is another episode. Every ally a guest star. Every enemy a ratings boost.

He fires generals like showrunners. Rewrites laws like scripts. Cuts funding to departments that mess with continuity.

We’re not meant to believe in the reality of any of it. Just to stay tuned.

He’s not dismantling democracy because he hates it. He’s doing it because it’s boring. Too slow. Too full of scenes where other people talk.

And now we’re trapped in his show. Same set. Higher budget. No finale in sight.
