go-round

This go-round, everything’s louder and more banal.

The Louisiana Republican told reporters on Tuesday that President Trump had a "high bar" to clear if he wanted to stick around once this go-round in the Oval Office ends.

The difference in style between Trump's first and second go-round in the Oval Office was on full display Wednesday when the president called the United States a "bloated, fat, disgusting" country and bashed predecessor Joe Biden during the first meeting with his Cabinet.

There's a lot of anxiety about the lack of more meaningful resistance to Trumpism, especially as the second term, in the grand tradition of sequels, is both louder and more terrible than the first go-round.

And that’s fine, especially during Sunday’s 67th annual Grammy Awards and its fifth go-round with Noah as the Grammys emcee.
