Chooose your own adventurism

Because they weren’t prepared in 2017 and there were norms before 2008. Sort of.

I think the argument is during his first term the Republicans thought Trump would actually be their leader and do stuff, but really he just bumbled around and ate McDonalds. Now the savvier far righters realize he's better as a figurehead and will now leverage his next term by having a bunch of ghouls run around behind the scenes while Trump is out golfing.

That's the logic anyway.
