Realistic Predictions for Trump’s Next 100 Days
Sure, some of these might sound insane, but in his first 100 days, he deported a man to a foreign prison by mistake and his defense secretary used a texting app to share war crimes—what even is insane anymore?

                            Happy (lol) 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidential term. If you had asked me on January 20 what I thought Trump’s first 100 days would entail, I might, might have said that he’d launch an international trade war and that JD Vance would kill Pope Francis—but that’s probably it. I feel silly admitting this now, but I definitely suspected he would take more than 100 days—maybe even up to a year—before launching a full-blown attack against the press, the courts, college students, judges, freedom of speech, due process, universities, science, the Constitution, and Americans who aren’t billionaires.
