Yes, it’s true: Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges, after a grand jury voted to indict him on 30 March over hush-money payments made to the porn star Stormy Daniels. Both these views betray a failure of imagination. Second, they believe that Trump’s sea of legal troubles will ultimately drown him as a candidate. First, they believe that Biden will always beat Trump, even if they somehow face each other in every presidential election from now until hell freezes over. The campaign of lawfare against him has already begun to backfireĭemocratic strategists think otherwise. The more I think about it, the more I think the Joe Biden presidency is Act II – and Donald Trump is not the last tycoon.
He meant that, unlike in a traditional play – where Act I presents a problem, Act II reveals the complications and Act III resolves it all – Americans want to skip Act II and go straight to the resolution.
Scott Fitzgerald’s famous line from the end of his unfinished novel The Last Tycoon: ‘There are no second acts in American lives.’ But Fitzgerald wasn’t talking about second chances.
