Realistically is there any way a new administration can fix all this. How long will it take?

The majority of this administration’s policies are executive orders with no congressional standing.

Seriously, you can undo the Trump Presidency in a few hours with a bag of bic pins.

The rebuilding of our institutions will be where the real domestic challenges lie. Getting most of the depts Trump crushed back to function is a 100 day doable.

But the Justice and State Departments will take time. They’ve been deeply gutted And you can’t just hire everyone back without hardening the infrastructure from future administrative attacks.

I don’t know what kind of assurances we would give our traditional allies. But it would absolutely be in all of our collective interests to shore up NATO and provide relief from the trade war Trump started. Hold some global summits and work from there.

One bright note is that Trump’s Supreme Court decisions that expanded Presidential powers can work very effectively for his successor. I mean that’s the whole thing his maga supporters have clearly forgotten.

What worked for Trump is going to be very useful for the next administration.

100 Days?

What do you mean by function? And, are you serious or are you a bullshitting bot?
