is becoming reality though. In his first term he felt a bit constrained, plus there were real grownups in his administration to stop him from doing anything too reckless and dangerous.

Now no one even tries to stop him and he has congress just going along with him. He intentionally picked a lot of unqualified, dumb people for his administration so that no one would try to tell him "no". He must have had the "loyalty" speech with them before he nominated them.
