Republicans won't let him. They profit too much from all this waste and corruption.

You never know. Don't underestimate the power of Trump gaining control of the party itself. His daughter in law now controls the funding and support they get from the Party when they seek re-election. He holds a lot of sway on whether or not they can retain their offices in a lot of cases. He can throw an awful lot of weight behind having people unseated.
 

Brazil fines meat packers $64 million for buying cattle from deforested Amazon land​

By Reuters

BRASILIA, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Brazil's environmental protection agency IBAMA has imposed 365 million reais ($64 million) in fines on cattle ranches and meat packers, including the world's largest JBS SA (JBSS3.SA), opens new tab, for raising or buying cattle on illegally deforested land in the Amazon.
IBAMA said on it had identified 69 properties that had sold 18,000 head of cattle raised on deforested land, and 23 meat packing companies that bought the cattle in the states of Para and Amazonas.

The enforcement operation was aimed at curbing deforestation in the Amazon by monitoring the chain that produces or sells cattle from illegally deforested areas, IBAMA said.
JBS denied buying cattle from the properties named by IBAMA.
"None of the JBS purchases indicated by IBAMA were made from embargoed areas," the company said.
JBS added in a statement that its geospatial monitoring system ensures the company does not acquire animals from farms involved in illegal deforestation, the invasion of indigenous lands or environmental conservation areas.

Extensive cattle ranching along with clearing land to sell timber or grow soy are driving deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
A number of meat packers signed commitments with prosecutors in 2013, agreeing not to buy cattle from ranches that were cleared illegally or have been blacklisted for environmental crimes.
JBS and more than a dozen other major agriculture firms have also pledged to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains by 2025, including destruction linked to indirect suppliers that sell to middlemen who then sell to meat packers.

If you think Trump was continuously hounded and torpedoed by the deep state during his presidency, if he tries to cut their financing, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Oh I have no doubt they'll fight it, I'm just pointing out he has a means to fight back this time. He has meaningful control over the party where he didn't before. May be enough, may not, we'll have to see.

He learned a lot in his first term. I think the only issue this time will be staying alive. (Assuming they havnt stepped up their cheating game)

Bullshit.

You've seen everything they can possibly throw at him, including attempted assassination.
Their needle is pegged at 100% and nothing he does can make them go harder since they already are, and have been, at the max.

So fuck em. Get in there and knock shit over like a kid off his meds. That's why we vote for you.

No, not even close. Do not put it past the Deep State to shoot his plane out of the air and blame it on Iran.

Heck, with Their control over the media, They could have the Air Force shoot him down and then spend the next 4 years using Their Propaganda Machine to talk about why it was important "to protect Democracy" by taking him out.

It really does look like Trump is surrounded by many more impressive people now than in 2016.

I really hope hiring will go better this time.

I don't want to get my hopes up... but the next 4 years could change my opinion of the guy quite a bit.

I think he could do great things if he has some small government tight-wads in his ear every day to tell him to stop spending money.
