Some people have been arguing about Trump's inaction on Hong Kong, but little do they know that during his first term, it was difficult for him to issue orders outside the White House, and he could only rule the country through Twitter.
The ministers of various departments and the vice president were mostly arranged by the establishment. The Attorney General investigated his collusion with Russia, the FBI and CIA followed Hillary's instructions to suppress the email scandal, the media smeared him, Republican McCarthy and McConnell did not support him, Mnuchin hindered him, and he was almost impeached by Congress in Vietnam.
Trump himself could not protect himself during his first term, and he did not dare to speak on the Hong Kong incident.
After four years of hard work, he has figured out the ins and outs of the White House, eliminated the Republican establishment, and built a core team. This nomination of the vice president is the beginning of his power coming to power, and it also put him in danger.
If the November election goes smoothly (it's hard), he will control the White House and national power in January next year. This time will be very different from the last time, and then the United States will return to "what it should be."
