The first Trump POTUS was not bad at all until COVID.  The first Trump
POTUS also did not include Elon Musk, did not include tariffs against
Canada, was not post COVID, and did not include several other things that this
one does.  It also was not post Trump losing in 2020 and getting all pissed
off about it.

If the Trump from the first term were running the country, I would very
likely not have many/any complaints.  I was happy enough with the first
term that I voted for him in 2020.  But, so far, this term is nothing
like the previous one.
