Washington – President Donald Trump’s first week in office is not over yet, but already indicates how his next four years in the White House can be revealed.
Some takes from early days of his second term:
He is like never before
Within a few hours of taking the oath, Trump waived more than 1,500 people, who were convicted or accused on 6 January 2021, the capital was attacked by his supporters. Those who were involved in those who attacked police officers that day attacked, covered and beat them. The decision of the Republican President was with his upcoming vice -president, JD Vance, and earlier comments by other senior colleagues that Trump would only close those who were not violent.
To reward friends and punish critics, he decorated many of the first several steps in his first week in both important and subtle ways. This indicated that without the need to worry about the reunion – the Constitution after a third term – or after legal results provided an extended immune to the President by the Supreme Court, to control him by a Republican Congress supported by a Republican Congress. Have done very little.
Trump gave Dr. Anthony Faussi, his former Covid -19 advisor, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, former state secretary Mike Pompeo and his ontime deputy finished protective security details. Security safety was regularly enhanced by the Biden administration on reliable threats for men’s lives.
Trump also canceled the security approval of dozens of government officials who had criticized him including Bolton, and directed that the portrait of former Joint Chief of Staff Chairman, retired General Mark Mile would be removed from the Pentagon walls.
He is more organized this time
In his first days at the office, Trump showed that he and his team had learned four more in the White House for four times and four more in political exile.
The most valuable resource time of a president is and Trump left his impression on the nation in his first hours with executive orders, policy memorandum and government staffing shake-up. This reflected a level of sophistication that removed him in his first term and crossed his democratic predecessors on his own scale and for his early days in the Oval Office.
Feeling burnt by the Obama administration’s holdover, during his first Go-Around, Trump rapidly deported Biden Holdovers and went to test a new fare for his felt for his agenda.
Within a few days, he overthrew the initiative of four years diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal government, sent federal soldiers to the US-Maxico border and erased the biden railing on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency development.
In his first term, Trump’s early executive orders were more showpieces than the substance and often blocked by federal courts. This time, Trump is still facing the boundaries of his constitutional authorities, but is far more expert in controlling what is within them.
But Trump is still Trump
An hour after the conclusion of a relatively seduced inauguration address at Capital Rotunda, Trump decided to loose.
Talking about the governors, political support and an overflow crowd of dignitaries at the Capital Visitor Center, Trump ripped the biden, justice department and other alleged rivals. He followed it with a long speech for supporters in a downtown region and with reporters in the Oval office with more than 50 minutes comment and questions and answers.
For all experiences and organization of Trump, he is still the same Donald Trump, and the national conversation dominates the center with intentions as before. If not more.
Courts can strengthen Trump or give them new powers
He has tried to end civil service security for many federal workers and overturned more than a century on congenital citizenship. Such tricks have been a magnet for legal challenges. In the case of the order of congenital citizenship, it rapidly criticized the US District Judge John Kafenor, who held a temporary migration on Trump’s plans.
“I have been on the bench for more than four decades. I could not miss another case, where the question presented was as clear as it is, ”Kafenore, nominated by Republican President Ronald Reagan, told the Attorney of the Department of Justice. “This is a clearly unconstitutional order.”
How those court cases play, not only some of Trump’s most controversial works will determine the fate, but how far can any President go to advance the agenda.
Trump is betting that the oil can lubricate the wheels of the economy and correct everything
The President likes to call it “liquid gold”.
Their main economic perception is that prices reduce prices in high oil production by the United States, Saudi and the rest of OPEC. This will reduce overall inflation and cut oil revenue that Russia is using to fund its war in Ukraine.
For Trump, the oil is the answer.
He is betting that fossil fuel is the future despite the risks of climate change.
Trump said in a Thursday speech, “The United States is the largest oil and gas in any country on Earth, and we are going to use it.” “Not only this will reduce the cost of almost all goods and services, it will make the United States a manufacturing superpower and artificial intelligence and Crypto’s world capital”
The problem with billionaires is that they are rivals, not super friends
Trump had the wealthiest man in the world when he took oath of office on Monday.
Tesla’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and LVMH’s Bernard Arnault were all there. Softbank billionaire Masayoshi son was in the audience. Later in the week, Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Sam Altman of Openi announced an artificial intelligence investment of up to $ 500 billion with the son at the White House.
Musk, Trump Backer, who is leading the department’s department of the President’s official efficiency, posted on X that SoftBank did not have money. Altman, a opponent to do oysters on AI, replied on X that there was money.
By surrounded himself with the wealthiest people in Tech, Trump is also trapped in his play.
Trump said on Thursday, “People in the deal are very, very smart people.” “But Elon, one of the people, he is to hate. But I also have some hatred from people. ,
Trump has one thing for William McKinley
Trump has a major fan of the 25th President of America. Trump likes tariffs that were deployed during the Presidential post of Republican William McCinley and helped to fund the government. Trump has claimed that the country was the most rich in the 1890s when McKinley was in the office.
But McKinley may not be a great economic role model for the 21st century.
For the beginning, the Tax Foundation found that the federal receipts were equal to only 3% of the overall economy in 1900, the reunion year of McCinley. Tax revenue is now equal to about 17% of the US economy and it is still not enough to fund the government without massive deficit. So it would be difficult to go to full macinley without some chaos.
As mentioned on X by Economist Douglas Irwin of Dartmouth College, the economic era defined by McCinley was not as great for many people.
“There was a small thing called terror of 1893 and the unemployment rate was in double digits from 1894-98 !!” Irwin wrote. “Not a great decade!”
