Donald Trump is envisioning his second act, according to Politico. “He’s compared it to that time in between seasons of ‘The Apprentice,’ building anticipation and wonderment for what’s to come,” a source is quoted as saying.
His mood may be similar but his framing may be off-base; at NBC, a second coming would have revolved around the question 'would it make money for the network', and the network's internal politics which, while cut-throat, would likely have been personal and fluid given the relatively small number of players involved.
In a second bite at the presidency, as well as his large base of supporters, he will run into a potentially vast array of well funded actors lined up to prevent his re-ascendancy. And because they are numerous and have multifaceted interests that happen to coalesce around opposing his second term, they will be harder to manipulate or disarm.
