I wonder how a second Trump presidency would look like. Two things would be for sure: a) strengthening of the conservative majority on the Supreme Court; b) disaster for Ukraine and lifting (or lack of enforcement) of core economic sanctions on Russia.

Republicans had some control over Trump during his presidency because he was afraid of losing the next election and of the Russiagate investigation ("I’m fucked" he said after Mueller was appointed.) Therefore, he did what they wanted, including appointing conservative justices. Republicans have no control over him now, and he would do completely unhinged things.

And how it would be different from the second term of Biden may I ask?

On his foreign watch we have: Disaster in Afghanistan. Disaster in Ukraine - instead of Lend-Lease Biden went into dividing billions of aid between friendly defense contractors and it resulted in turning bipartisan issue of high importance into partisan one. And finally - disaster in Middle-East cause Iran choose Russian side and all the fancy maneuvers of Biden administration ended with nothing.

I honestly think that a nation that choose Trump vs Biden from three hundred million people is in deep trouble. And I honestly don't know which one will be worse.
