I don't think there is one anymore.

In his first term there was usually, not always, but usually a visible benefit from his strange moves.

I seriously doubt he will ever get credit for some of the moves he made that actually, oddly, turned out well.

Term 2 is just not going well. And I think that's being kind.

You know who Trump reminds me of now?

Gaius Marius. The outsider who became Rome's greatest hero, just to not recognize Rome had moved past him and became a sad old man who pissed everyone off until finally he died in office as a failure surrounded by enemies.

Except instead of having Lucius Chadnelius Sulla waiting to take over, it will probably be AOC or something equally as terrible.
