it's been 8 years. his biggest enemies retired since then. the gop is still not great, but it's much more pro-maga than it ever was even at the end of his first term. i also forgot to mention before, but the media environment is much more favorable to him as well. cnn is trying to be more moderate. legacy media is back down to pre-2015 numbers and dropping fast. there's multiple social media sites now that are neutral or outright pro-trump. even hollywood is backing off on the overt far-left messaging. trump doesn't have to play nice and get reelected, he's got staff that's actually loyal and competent now, and he can do a much better job of messaging direct to people.
