U.S. President Donald Trump told him about his country and the world in his joint speech to the U.S. Congress last week that there were few surprises. The consequences of a speech over 90 minutes, considered one of the longest in decades, will be experienced in the U.S. in the coming weeks, and the slam of Doge head Elon Musk has begun to inspire the cauldron. It is here that the political politics inside the ring road is determined, which will determine the process.
In the February 25 speech, there were two unique and visible topics, essentially a reaffirmation and elaboration of the issues he raised during the campaign. First, Trump outlines how his administration has developed plans to regain “great” and welcome it in the “golden age.” Another is a unique display of partisanship, now a more obvious feature of American politics.
Americans have never been split
Aware of the polarization in the United States, Democratic leaders advised their members not to react to Trump in a way that would give Republicans a chance to shape narratives. But it turned out to be difficult, as handheld signs and placards filled the area, which disputed several measures announced by the new government.
The deep division has been fully demonstrated. When some Democrats read “Save Medicaid” on their placards, others flashed with cards of “lie” or “protect veterans” as Trump read a long list of budget allocations that allegedly allegedly “suspicious” or “non-priority” beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, Al Green, a senior Democratic Congressman in Texas, was accompanied to discharge from the hospital for interrupting the president’s speech. It was Green who filed an impeachment motion in the first President Trump. In fact, last month, he threatened to do it again. Many women members wore pink costumes to protest the policies they said were against women, while a few went on strike. Finally, most Democrats quickly quit the floor, and Republicans praised the address.
Take everyone
In the coming weeks, Trump and his team will ask Congress to support the adoption of proposals and usher in tax reforms and policies. This will require modification of existing laws. Republicans control both the House and the Senate, despite the majority. Typical political dramas on the mountain will require dexterous transactions. Despite its inherent power, it was a challenge that day.
After the first semester experience, President Donald Trump is keenly aware that members of Congress, even members of the Republican Party, can throw a wrench into his plan. Unlike parliamentary democracies, members of the whip force partisan footsteps on the hills, and every bill requires negotiation. It is not uncommon for one party to support a bill proposed from the other end of the aisle. These voting models are determined by members’ policies and commitments on issues advocated by them or their constituents.
How will the Republican Party act?
When referring to his plan to provide tax relief for interest on car loans made in the United States, President Trump pointed out Democrats and encouraged them to pass other measures, such as taxes on tips, overtime pay and Social Security benefits. President Trump mocked Democrats in typical style: “…I’m sure I’m on my right – I don’t mean Republican rights, but my rights here [occupied by Democrats] – I’m sure you’ll vote for tax cuts because I don’t believe people will vote for you,” he added: “By telling you, I’ll be a big help. ”
When President Trump’s comments anger Democrats, the administration must consider Republican behavior. The House of Representatives nearly voted between 217 and 215 in the days leading up to the Republican plan for President Trump’s legislative agenda. It was after a full-day effort that managed to convince some Republicans to join at the last minute. Priorities include measures on borders, energy and taxation, are the first major tests by the GOP and Speaker Mike Johnson, who had to cancel a round of votes and then call them again. There is a group of Republican conservatives who haven’t convinced the measure because it doesn’t have enough deficits.
All of this shows that there is no easy way.
Part of Republican lawmakers are Trump’s advice to the spokesperson “get rid of” chips and scientific law. The 2022 Act provides $52 billion to the domestic semiconductor manufacturing industry and has received bipartisan support. Beyond that, there is a general feeling of discomfort that democratic lawmakers are experiencing. They will suspend the president’s agenda, especially when the new administration seeks to pass laws during Biden’s tenure.
The growing gap between lawmakers on both sides reflects the gap in American politics that emerged during Trump’s first term, which has continued to be temporary and has now resurfaced. This makes it difficult for moderates on both sides to reach a consensus on the midpoint.
