There used to be a time when the government was people's servant

I believe that's how it was intended, but I doubt it ever really happened.

Maybe a little irony about Trump is that he is such a servant of himself, and he likely is not capable of representing anyone but himself, yet at the same time people still voted for him while knowing that he has such a character flaw that has almost a snowballs chance in hell of reforming.. yet surely at the same time, it could have had also been that some people still considered that giving him a kind of blank check and a get out of jail for free card, then somehow they perceived to be rewarding him that way (by voting him into office) that would also be in their interest (at least more so than the alternative)...

Surely some ongoing crazy-ass chaos since Trump seems to be even way more emboldened in his level of outrageousness, as compared with last time, so at the same time, there are likely questions regarding policy attempt ramifications and the extent to which some of the practices end up changing in ways that might end up being people empowering, Trump self-serving and/or do things get helped more than they are hurt through such chaos.. including letting a bunch of thugs off of their criminal charges merely because they seem to be lapdogs (or would it be bulldogs?) for Trump.

Hard to imagine ramification of the government getting back to its seemingly intended roots of serving the people, yet we probably should not give up hope, otherwise, we might not even consider bitcoin to be able to help to temper some of the outrageousness and chaos through its tick tock next block fundamentals.
