Perhaps the simplest way to explain Donald Trump’s second term as president is that it takes all of the patterns seen during his first administration and multiplies them by a factor of 10.

And, one month in, we’ve seen a lot of another pattern: visits to Trump Organization properties and a lot more golf.
