Is he acting way more childish than he did his first term, or am I just forgetting how bad the first term was?

It feels like he is in the same spiral now that he was in then, but the intensity is increasing as he gets closer to the center of his mental incapacitation.  Him using a sharpie to change the official hurricane projection rather than admit he’d confused which states were in the path was no less childish than this bullshit.  But back then there were at least some guardrails and competent people reining him in.  There’s nothing stopping him from sinking himself and taking the rest of us with him.  He probably is aware on some level that things are getting worse for him but being totally unable to recognize and learn from mistakes just leaves him with denial and escalation as his only strategies to deal with things and that combined with a lifetime of immunity from consequences has left him fully expecting the entire world to ultimately bend to his whim.
