Trump is not only expected to pick his loyalists for top roles in federal agencies, but he will also seek to remove career civil servants across the government, starting with the Justice Department, the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. of Diseases, which led the US War on the Covid pandemic.
Former President Donald Trump is gearing up for a possible second term in office and has promised to focus on rooting out political enemies, imposing billions of dollars in new tariffs on imports, dramatically limiting immigration and reducing US involvement. in overseas wars.
The former president has a solid lead in the polls over his rivals in the Republican primary field and has a slight advantage in a rematch against incumbent Joe Biden for the White House. And he has been open about his intentions at fiery public rallies, consulting former officials in his administration and convening gatherings of experts from right-wing think tanks close to his views.
Some of his areas of focus are raising alarm bells about the future of American democracy and global leadership.
"This echoes the language you heard in Nazi Germany in the 1930s," Biden said during his trip to California this week.
Supporters say Trump is simply looking to get America back to where it was before the 2020 election while addressing his administration's unfinished business.
Eradication of 'parasites'
At an event in New Hampshire last weekend, Trump vowed to "eradicate" the "Communists, Marxists, racists and radical leftist thugs who live like parasites within our country's borders."
The former president often says he is the victim of political persecution after being indicted on federal and state crimes in four separate places this year and has signaled he wants to take his fight against the so-called deep state to a new level.
Trump is not only expected to pick his loyalists for top roles in federal agencies, but he will also seek to remove career civil servants across the government, starting with the Justice Department, the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. of Diseases, which led the US War on the Covid pandemic.
'A ring around the collar'
Trump changed US trade policy while in office, launching trade wars with China and other rivals, as well as against allies like the EU and Japan – and may do so again. In August, he proposed a blanket tariff of 10 percent on imports.
"When companies come in and dump their products in the United States, they automatically have to pay, say, a 10 percent tax. That money will be used to pay off the debt," Trump told Fox Business.
Stephen Moore, his former White House economic adviser, who was at Mar-a-Lago this week, said the details of how the plan "would be drawn up" had not been "thought out yet."
"We will stop World War III"
Trump has criticized Biden on foreign policy, saying Hamas would never have attacked Israel under his watch and Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and that the world has become more unstable than when he was in office.
The former president has claimed that he can bring peace to Ukraine within "24 hours". Since he knows "all the players" in the world, he declared that he would prevent "World War III".
A Trump presidency would certainly raise questions about the future of US economic and security assistance to crucial US allies and partners, as well as the future of NATO. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Biden has pushed to strengthen the transatlantic alliance. But Trump has threatened to pull the US out of NATO — and at least revive his aggressive push for new defense spending by other members.
"We don't want to be in the business of absorbing all the burden for these NATO countries as it relates to expanding the NATO alliance and having a large number of troops on the European continent. This is something from which we just feel like we need to go away and pull back as much as possible," said Russell Vought, the former White House budget director. under Trump and the president of the Center for American Renewal.
'Expulsion of immigrants'
The partial construction of a wall between the southern border and Mexico during Trump's tenure has not stemmed the tide of people crossing into the US to seek refuge. In response, Trump has vowed a massive new crackdown on immigration in a second term.
"No one has ever seen anything like it now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It is poisoning the blood of our country,” he said in an interview with The National Pulse last month.
Trump and his top aides, including Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner who was a senior White House staffer, have weighed proposals including a revival of the entry ban on citizens from majority countries Muslims, sweeping roundups of undocumented immigrants, and the creation of giant detention camps near the southern border. They have also considered ending birthright citizenship in the US./ Adapted "Pamphlet" from "FinancialTimes"
