he couldn't because he is himself, he got to that position because he's a reckless dumbass that hit a hot streak
this is akin to saying "if only the dude that made $100M gambling just stopped gambling before he lost it all"
Crazy to think about how Trump could’ve had one of the most successful and popular presidential terms in modern American history… and they completely punted it.
He was elected by a historic coalition and was the first Republican to win the popular vote in decades because of two issues: inflation and illegal immigration.
Inflation was already falling after the Covid and Biden era spending. All he had to do was close the border, conduct mass deportations, and let the economy/AI cook while pushing through deregulation.
Instead, after explicitly running on ending foreign wars, he immediately started a war with Iran which has taken over the entire term. Inflation, energy prices and mortgage rates have all climbed and are heading in the wrong direction. His approval is at an all-time low. He sacrificed his own domestic agenda for a war in the Middle East alongside Israel.
Republicans are now going to lose the House, possibly the Senate, and the next 2 years will be nothing but DC gridlock and investigations. The odds of handing America to the far-left in 2028 have also dramatically increased.
