Unfortunately, his second term is going nearly exactly how his first term went. He is leveraging every means available to him to prove he has POWER and INFLUENCE, which is exactly what he doesn't have, because he doesn't control Congress-- he's very close to a lame duck. Political theatrics, banging pots and pans while locked out of the kitchen.
Notice he hasn't actually done anything that would leave him open to being humiliated by congress like he was in his first term, and most of what he has done has been held up in the courts or walked back.
So yea, enjoy your entertainment while it lasts. Governing by executive order only goes so far.
