There is every reason to think that this kind of talk reflects what a second Trump administration would be like. In 2016, Trump put absolutely zero effort into preparing for the possibility that he might actually govern after the election.

It may well be an accurate representation of what a second Trump term would be like. Trump has never had a second term before, and predicting the future is notoriously hard.
