Why do you say this? Things seem about the same to me.
The polling data on his approval ratings and his policies seems markedly different this time. IPSOS has deportation of illegal immigrants at 60 - 66% approval, and Trump's anti transgender policies at 70-80% approval. YouGov has Trump's approval rating at 53%, a net 6% positive, pretty much an all time high for Trump, and historically quite high for re-elected presidents. Before the election, IPSOS had Trump beating Harris on almost every issue except abortion. If you time travelled and showed these numbers to someone living in 2017, hell even 2020, they'd be absolutely shocked.
The Gallup polls always had trump bouncing up and down between like 35% and 50% over the years, but early in his first term is almost identical to this one. I don't really trust polling in general anyway, but I guess there's not much else to go off at this point. He did get booed pretty hard at the Superbowl
