Donald Trump’s Glorious Return: Two Weeks of Pure Political Dumpster Fire
By Michael Smith | ReflectiveMVS
Well, folks, we did it. We let America’s Most Embarrassing Export back into the White House, and—shocker—it’s already a raging mess. Two weeks in, and the level of incompetence is so staggering, so breathtakingly stupid, that you almost have to respect the commitment to chaos.
From tanking the economy with a totally necessary (sarcasm) trade war to making executive orders like a dictator with ADHD, Trump 2.0 is proving to be exactly what we feared—but dumber.
Let’s break down the absolute circus of incompetence, corruption, and world-class stupidity that has unfolded in just 14 days.
The ‘Brilliant’ Trade War That No One Asked For
Oh, you thought Trump would come back slightly more competent than last time? Bless your heart.
Instead of, you know, doing something useful, he decided to kick things off by starting an economic war with our two biggest trading partners.
Because why fix inflation when you can torch international trade instead?
Here’s the genius plan:
✅ 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico—because obviously, the best way to strengthen our economy is by punishing the countries we do the most business with.
✅ 10% tariffs on China—because why not throw in another bad idea for fun?
✅ No prior discussions, no warning—just an instant middle finger to every American industry that relies on trade.
Even a middle school economics student could tell you this is a bad idea, but economic sabotage is Trump’s love language.
How’s That Working Out?
🚨 Canada & Mexico responded immediately—slapping retaliatory tariffs on American goods.
🚨 U.S. farmers are panicking—because, surprise! They kinda rely on exporting crops.
🚨 Automakers? Screwed. Steel and aluminum costs are spiking.
🚨 Inflation? Oh, it’s about to get worse.
At this point, Trump should just rename the U.S. economy to “Bankruptcy, But Make It Patriotism.”

Executive Orders: Dictator Starter Pack Edition
Trump’s obsession with executive orders is what happens when you put a man with the attention span of a goldfish in charge of an entire country.
In just two weeks, he has signed dozens of them—because why pass laws when you can just rule by decree?
Here’s just a small sample of the bullshit he’s pulled:
👑 Fired 17 independent inspectors general across federal agencies—because oversight is for suckers.
👑 Suspended federal payments to states that “defy” his executive orders—because financial extortion is totally presidential behavior.
👑 Pardoned January 6th insurrectionists—because apparently, democracy needs more seditionists roaming free.
👑 Launched a full-scale purge of career federal employees—because expertise and competence are enemies of MAGA.
👑 Gutted union protections for federal workers—because why let workers have rights when you can crush them instead?
At this rate, we’ll be back to child labor and asbestos-lined schools by June.
A Brief List of Other Dumbass Things He’s Done in 14 Days
🚨 Threatened to withdraw from NATO… again. Because nothing says “stable leadership” like flirting with military isolationism while Russia watches with popcorn.
🚨 Dismantled pandemic response teams. Because who needs experts when bleach injections and horse dewormer exist?
🚨 Undermined U.S. involvement in global health initiatives. Pandemics are soooo last decade, and public health is clearly for the weak.
🚨 Declared a national energy emergency to fast-track fossil fuel projects. Because what’s a little more climate collapse among friends? The planet was getting too comfortable anyway.
🚨 Rolled back environmental protections. Because trees are a liberal conspiracy, and clean air is overrated.
🚨 Rescinded all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Because ensuring fairness in hiring and representation is apparently “woke,” and nothing triggers MAGA more than the idea of a competent Black person in leadership.
🚨 Eliminated Black History Month celebrations in federal agencies. Why acknowledge history when you can rewrite it?
🚨 Issued an executive order to slash civil rights enforcement. Because laws against discrimination are so inconvenient when you’re trying to make America 1950 again.
🚨 Appointed Elon Musk to lead federal workforce reductions. Because nothing screams "small government" like putting a billionaire Twitter addict in charge of mass layoffs.
🚨 Publicly attacked judges and prosecutors handling his legal cases. The best way to prove you're innocent? Threaten the people in charge of your trials.
🚨 Hinted at suspending the Constitution for "national security reasons." Yes, this actually happened. Yes, we should all be alarmed.
At this point, if Trump were a movie, critics would call it “too unrealistic.”
Reflections: Where Do We Go From Here?
Listen, I knew it would be bad. We all did. But two weeks in, and we’re already in a constitutional crisis? WTF.
The reality is, this isn’t just incompetence—it’s sabotage. Trump isn’t failing by accident. He’s deliberately dismantling democracy because it’s the only way he stays in power.
This isn’t about political differences. It’s about:
⚠ A corrupt, authoritarian man-child who thrives on chaos.
⚠ A Republican Party too spineless to stop him.
⚠ A country that is running out of chances to correct its mistake.
We are watching democracy collapse in real time, and yet, half the country is too busy watching Fox News to notice.
So what do we do?
📢 Call it what it is: an authoritarian takeover.
📢 Fight every policy, every executive order, every blatant abuse of power.
📢 Stop pretending this is normal—it isn’t.
Four years is a long time. And if this is what Trump is pulling in 14 days, we are in for the fight of our lives.
