There is a saying among MAGA conservatives that “Trump was right about everything.” You can even buy a hat to that effect, so you know it’s true.

But sometimes the truth is a double-edged sword. Case in point: When Trump predicted in 2016 that his supporters would be so worn out by “too much winning” that they would beg him to stop.

We’re gonna turn it around, and we’re gonna start winning again. … We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning and you’ll say, “Please, please, it’s too much winning, we can’t take it anymore. Mr. President, it’s too much,” and I’ll say, no it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!

Well, Trump failed to deliver enough winning in his first term to have his prediction come true – at least partly because the Democrats tangled him up in a fake Russia collusion investigation for the better part of two years – but Trump wasn’t done in 2021, not by a long shot.

Fast forward to the non-contiguous second term that began in … oh wait, it just began this year! Just nine months ago to be exact. Even though it seems like a lifetime. Working at warp speed, Trump has crammed more into those nine months than Joe Biden did in his entire four years (and Barack Obama did in eight.)

Which brings us to the theme of this column. Is it possible that “too much winning” is not just a rallying cry but, in practice, a bad thing?

Any Psychology 101 course will teach you that change is the chief cause of stress, and Trump 2.0 has one indisputable characteristic – unrelenting, unyielding, unprecedented change.

Starting on Jan. 20, when the president signed 26 executive orders in less than half a day, it has been nonstop experimentation and overhaul.

Admittedly, that’s why he was elected. Let’s stipulate that after the disastrous Biden presidency, people wanted a change – and up until now they have been resilient enough to adapt to the new world order that Trump brought to........
