Karl Marx said, “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” Donald Trump’s first term ended with the tragic loss of life as his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Twice-impeached and convicted felon Trump will take the oath of office in the Capitol Rotunda, the scene of the crime, on January 20, 2025.

While it is customary to wait 100 days before evaluating a new president’s performance, we already know Trump’s true self. From Day One, this farce of a presidency will be chaotic, idiotic and autocratic.
