'President’s warpath': DC insiders say Trump’s second term is a whole new ball game

President Donald Trump's second term in office is nothing like his first, D.C. power brokers say.

In a Wednesday NOTUS report, lobbyists revealed that the "fickle" and forgetful president can be easily redirected.

“Everyone knows this to be true: He’s fickle, the grudges never last forever. There’s people he loves that he falls out with and there’s people that he falls out with that come back into the fold,” a Republican lobbyist said.

Trump allies have been able to use their money, access or influence to get a pardon, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday evening.

North Carolina’s Lumbee Tribe scored full federal recognition after decades of fighting when they hired a Trump emissary. The tribe named Tiffany Trump as a descendant. Lobbyist Ches McDowell was tapped by the tribe for help. McDowell's name has become synonymous with successful lobbying efforts, including in the pardon report.

Third world countries are hiring lobbyists with Trump ties to offer up rare earth minerals from their countries to score favor, another report revealed. The Guardian said that millions of dollars is coming in to the lobbying firms from some of the world's poorest countries.

“It’s a completely different ball game from the first go-around,” the GOP lobbyist who spoke to NOTUS said. “The change in social media platforms like X and the rise of podcasts are game changers for this [administration]. We didn’t have that first go-around.”

Trump's social media influence is louder than ever, but ending up on his "warpath" isn't "necessarily a permanent corporate crisis."

Seven-figure lobbyists are using Trump allies and even his children to get an "in," score Oval Office meetings and using "personal touches and magic words." One of Trump's favorite appears to be “unjust persecution.” If a lobbyist can corner Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the Journal said Trump "is often inclined to be helpful."
