Am I comparing him to the competition?
Is Trump fit for a second term?

Why? Let's assess him based on his own qualifications, political and business actions, character, and morals.

He wasn't even qualified for the first term. I always thought George W. Bush proved any idiot could be president, but he's a regular Einstein compared to Trump.

Trump Eyes High-Profile Wall Street, D.C. Veterans for Treasury Secretary
The former president and his aides view experience in finance as a key factor in the selection
Donald Trump and his allies are discussing several high-profile Wall Street and Washington veterans as candidates for Treasury secretary if the former president clinches a second term, ahead of a major fundraiser that will feature two likely contenders for the job.https://www.wsj.com/politics/electi...uxnq0fkvwdpmf24&reflink=article_copyURL_share
John Paulson, Jamie Dimon, Jay Clayton among the names being floated
If we go by Trump's last time in office, then all three might end up serving....

Trump’s record on his own favorite issues isn’t impressive.
1. Completely seal the border: didn’t happen in his first 4 years.
2. Build the wall and make Mexico pay for it: yeah, no. Didn’t happen.
3. Repeal and replace Obamacare: he ranted endlessly about this but did nothing. I’m beginning to see a pattern …
Did he have any other policies?
Was getting out of NATO a policy goal? He whined about it a lot but did nothing.

Trump's 'freedom of speech' is a bit less tonight. The judge expanded the gag order to include family members of the DA and the judge's family, including his daughter, whom Trump took to maligning immediately after the trial began.
It doesn't include the Judge or the DA personally, as before they are 'fair game' in Trump's political tirades.

What I learned from Donald Trump in today's rally: If you are a Christian, you can't vote for a Democrat.
Trump hawked the message to Christian Right members who want to put religion [The one with Jesus in it.] back into the Constitution, the Congress, and the Whitehouse. We need, according to the Christian Right preachers, to have one religion in our great Nation ruling both the government and the churches.
The Supreme Court was not mentioned today. Maybe, he's saving it for tomorrow's news.

Trump cut taxes for the rich. That is the only thing he really cared about. The rest was campaign rhetoric.
If that is true then why are the top 1% paying 47% of the taxes?

That is not even true for the income tax. The following chart shows that when all taxes are included, the U.S. tax system is mildly progressive.
On the other hand, income inequality has reached levels not seen since 1929.

Finally, for years public opinion surveys have indicated popular support for a more progressive tax system.

Wall Street Journal Poll: Trump Has Nearly Doubled Support Among Black Men and Women Since 2020

WSJ Poll: Donald Trump Nearly Doubles Support Among Black Men and Women Since 2020
Thirty percent of black men and 11 percent of black women intend to vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024, Wall Street Journal polling found Thursday, which is a significant increase from 2020 data.
Losing black support would be a blow to President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
Only 12 percent of black men voted for Trump in 2020, voting data shows. There is no compatible 2020 polling for black men.
In 2020, six percent of black women said they would vote for Trump, Associated Press polling found, five points less than the Journal‘s 2024 polling.
In more good news for Trump, 42 percent of black women remain up for grabs in 2024, the Journal survey showed…

He's talking about percentage of tax revenue, not individual tax rates.

I found a great article on how the top 20% by income pay 87% of the taxes.

I think he's fit. He's made politics fun again, although a lot of people get wound up. I'm glad he said no to a nationwide abortion ban and has relaxed his stance on Ukraine aid. I refuse to vote for anyone who is not going to send aid to Ukraine and Israel. I look forward to candidates who want to cut or remove the welfare state.
