Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, emphasizes that Donald Trump's second presidential term displays an unprecedented level of intensity and aggression. Unlike his first term, where his actions were often constrained by advisors like John Kelly, this time around, his team under chief of staff Susie Wiles appears resigned to his approach, either supporting it or recognizing it as unstoppable. Baker cites Trump's controversial suggestion regarding Gaza as an example of this unrestrained assertiveness, which raises serious ethical concerns. He warns that Trump's actions could have grave consequences, making past conflicts seem easier in comparison.
Trump 2.0 is Trump 1.0 on steroids. This time, they’re not fighting to stop him from doing what he wants... so there's no point in getting in front of the train.
It's a pretty fraught idea to clean out an entire population from a territory they have fought so many years to control... Trump either doesn't understand that, or he's playing with fire.
