On his first day’s return to the White House, President Trump expressed his happiness over his return to power and expressed his commitment to do the work that no president had done before. “We’re going to do such things that people will be surprised,” he announced.
Of all the thousands of words that Mr. Trump said as the 47th president of the nation, during his facts, during the opening days of the Tachaun -style, he was probably the most true. It does not matter that what he was doing was promised during the election campaign. Nevertheless, he managed to shock.
Not by policy changes or ideological swings that always come up with party changes in the White House, but the routine of personal power scattered, through claims of testing democracy that violate courts, Congress and moral letters. Yes. Restricted the presidency of the past.
He also freed the most violent of the rioters who attacked the capital four years ago in his name. Due to loyalty questions, he removed former advisers from facing reliable threats to kill their security details. Ignoring the law passed with bilateral and retaining the Supreme Court, it allowed the Chinese -owned TIKTOK app to remain in use in the United States, despite serious national security concerns.
Not only satisfied to end diversity, equality and joining measures, he ordered government workers to take away from someone who is suspected of not going with or will face “negative consequences”, this The practice is familiar with anyone of a particular age living in Russia. He fired at least a dozen inspector general who oversees departments for corruption and abuse in late night cleaning on Friday, ignoring the law for which a 30 -day notice to Congress. There was a need to give and provide specific reasons.
In doing so, Mr Trump in fact declared that he was ready and anxious to advance the limits of his powers, the flexibility of US institutions, the strengthening of the almost two -and -a -half -century system. To bear some of your allies. More than his first term, he has put a fundamental challenge for the expectations of what a president can do and what to do, showing the belief that his predecessors followed the principles to a great extent. Their purpose is to bend, ignore or break.
“He is using the government’s tools to challenge the post -presidency boundaries after the water gate,” said Brandon Nihan, an official at the Dartmouth College. “Some of these efforts will return the courts, but the level of obedience that we are seeing from business, universities and the media is contrary to what I have seen in my life.”
In the first week of Mr Trump, everything that shocked people does not have to violate presidential standards. Whenever a party president takes power from one of the other, changes in policies may be cold, and Mr Trump has been particularly aggressive in changing the direction of the country ideologically and politically.
This is widely under the control of the president, for example, ordering mass deportation, withdrawing from an international climate agreement or dismissing political appointments, whether the decisions are debatable. But as often happens to Mr. Trump, he also takes these decisions a step further.
“This week’s theme was revenge and revenge, when all other presidents used their opening ceremony to heal wounds, collect people and focus on the future,” said Lindsay M. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. “ Many books on the presidency “It seems as usual, but it is actually fundamental to the survival of the Republic.”
Mr Trump has never been affected by the argument whether or not he should do anything because it has been happening before. As a government newcomer during his first term, he sometimes worried himself about how Washington worked and was unable to use his will to achieve important priorities.
He returns more ready and more determined for the second term to cross the obstacles and any “deep condition” coming in his way. The Establishment’s advisers talked about these ideas last time, this time they are pursuing more with a new cast of colleagues who share their consent to disrupt the system.
He decided to re -write the 14th Amendment to the Constitution because it has been believed for more than a century that it does not guarantee automated citizenship to all children born in the United States. It took only three days to take a federal judge and temporarily stop the move, which he called a “unconstitutional order”, but the matter would certainly go to the Supreme Court.
While other presidents put their assets into blind confidence or otherwise, they stay away from their personal business interests to avoid confrontation of interests, Mr Trump made a lot of money in the scheme by exploiting his political celebrity. Investors who participate in federal government policies can potentially be fueled.
Just three days before its inauguration, it released a crypto token called $ Trump, which, along with other family token, reached about $ 10 billion on paper. Tokens create new opportunities for companies and other financial players inside and outside the United States to support a new administration.
In addition, while the other presidents had wealthy guardians who accessed the Oval Office, Mr Trump surrounded himself with billionaires on the opening platform and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, ruled the federal government. Giving the reform mandate. Which puts billions of dollars in his pocket through various contracts.
“The imperialist policy was not on the belt, and therefore it represents a challenge for democratic principles,” said Timothy Naphali, presidential historian at Columbia University. “Under any definition of the term, President Trump cannot be asked to take the Panama Canal deal away from Panama or Greenland from Denmark.”
Mr Naphali, who was Richard M. Nixon’s presidential library and founder director of the museum and is currently writing the biography of John F. Kennedy, said Mr Trump changed the terms of national dialogue in less than a week. Is In the office, none of his predecessors did.
“Some of it have disappeared, but the voice has changed,” Mr Naphtali said. “Our political and cultural environment, to the extent that we have a national existence, has changed in a few days. Yes, FDR felt people better about banks, but it has political culture in the first four days. Didn’t change, and after the first 100 days it took some time. “
Of course, Mr. Trump is hardly the first president to advance the boundaries of presidential power. Mr. Nixon comes to mind with others. In fact, some of Mr Trump’s allies see more prompt views of violating office conventions in his predecessor: President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who, in increasing his authority, strongly spoke in favor of traditional standards.
In the last days of his post, Mr Biden issued prior apology to half a dozen members of his family, and other goals of Mr Trump’s anger, the first of his kind, called a means of stopping him. Political cases against him have been made by Mr Trump, in fact, but even some Democrats objected to the apology, calling him himself a service and a terrifying view.
Mr Biden also announced in his last days as President that the amendment of equal rights had met the requirements of the verification and therefore he thinks it is now the 28th amendment of the Constitution. In doing so, it ignored the time -bound limits set by the Congress, which exceeded. Some analysts asked how it was different for Mr Biden to declare his own interpretation of the Constitution in such a way that Mr. Trump’s 14th amendment was different from trying to impose his interpretation.
“Joe Biden, from Executive Orders to Border Family, to Biden Family, to implement all policies and agendas,” said Victor Davis Hanson, a scholar at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. Spread, who could not get the support of most people. ” And author of “The Case for Trump”. He added that Mr Biden “ironicly gave Trump the authority to follow the word, but to enforce the agenda that received public approval.”
Not all Mr Trump’s claims are popular. A new Associated Press -NORC Center for Public Affairs Research Pool The January 6 apology faced massive dislikes and did not receive much support for the elimination of birthright citizenship.
But Jonathan Madison, who studies democracy and governance at the Free Market Research Organization R Street Institute in Washington, said Mr Biden “used executive power in extraordinary ways after the elections” and that “Trump’s The first week has been strengthened.
“Noteworthy,” Mr Madison added, “Congress members of both parties have shown little inclination to challenge the executive when it comes from their own.”
But Mr Trump, so far, has proved to be far more effective in crushing the opposition than Mr Biden. He dominates his own party as a generation of generations. Through the fear of force and retaliation, Mr Trump has forced Republicans to bow down to their wishes since their re -election, and even supported the cabinet’s nominees who were gathered in the past. There will be no, such as the Defense Minister for Pet Hegast. .
Beyond his party, Mr Trump has forced the billionaires of technology, Wall Street tycoes, corporate executives and media owners who earlier opposed them to show new value and many issues. I, with millions of dollars, were filled with my political accounts. Eight years ago when he was first opened, that resistance was over, many progressives and Trump were afraid to target anti -conservatives.
It leaves Mr Trump as the only most important player in any decision he cares to include him Want Even the bureaucracy has to be controlled if it has its own way, as it tries to transform neutral government employees into political appointments that are accountable.
“We’re not talking about oil excavation, where he is obviously following various policies. We’re not talking about Ukraine’s support,” Harvard Law School Professor Michael J. Clarman said. “All these signs that its Republican Party will not be opposed, it will not be opposed to the civil service, it will not be opposed to the media. They are all part of the dictatorial playbook.”
Mr Trump’s allies reject the notion that he wants authoritarian wishes. After all, he is still subject to the 22nd amendment, which has stopped him from running again in four years. Just last week, Tennessee’s representative Andy Oglas introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Mr Trump to contest for the third term.
There is no realistic possibility of passing, but as it happens, the Congressman’s campaign’s financial matters are under FBI investigating, a bureau that the new president oversees. Mr Trump told an audience on Saturday that “it would be the greatest honor for me to serve twice but twice.” “Maybe three times.”
