Mike Johnson rejected him to support him over who led the 119th council in a tense leadership voting on January 3rd. The two members of Freedom Kokas were pulled out aside and derived them. The end of the house where the Nancy Mace representative of South Carolina turned on the speaker phone. Donald Trump, who stopped golf games for the conversation, told both members in uncertain words that Johnson was the best person for work. A few minutes later, they returned to the room and switched votes.
The phone was a clear window for Trump’s way to shake political power. For all the stories that he is a rebel and a destroyed ball, he has a clear appreciation for the central nature of the US government. From his first term to today, he has been working hard to guarantee that he and Republican member of the Diet will move to rock steps. The vision he had revealed in his inauguration speech was greatly dependent on the executive action, but he needed the help of Congress to promise a campaign, such as tax cuts and immigrants. The tactics he adopted during his first term provide a model clues to how he wants to manage his party and even the Democratic Party.
Mr. Trump has long understood that the best route to promote his favorite policy through narrow and split Senate is through a settlement process that prohibits Philovaster. This is why he focused on achieving his legendary goals in his second phase through a “one big, beautiful bill.” This strategy could easily collapse, but Trump suggests that he intends to govern as before. To line up Republican members of Congress.
This is not surprising. During his first term, Trump usually worked as a party, despite the infinite explanation of the civil war with the GOP. Many of his greatest successes were related to the Republican’s central agenda items, such as dismantling workplaces and weakening the union’s power. He attacked more free trade than many Republican members, and was Russia and softer than Hawks liked, but he remained mainly conservative. Regarding the main issues, such as tax policies, reproductive rights, climate change, and immigrants on the supplier, Trump’s position was consistent with where the Republican Party was for decades. I was convinced that many members of the party would move their profits.
It was not so abnormal, even for Mr. Trump’s attitude to see the non -orthodox school. As Johns Hopkins’s James Man claimed, public opinion against China was hardened before Trump took office in 2017. Tactically, the party has played political hardball from a weapon process of Newt Ginrich in the 1980s and 1990s. -Eninfirates the explanation of the Democratic Party using a language in which his cocas splits abnormally, such as raising the maximum debt to achieve policies and political goals, such as providing funds to the government and increasing debts. I will do it.
Mr. Trump learned that it was built under the default of the country and was built based on Ginrich’s example and the threat of a tea party in 2011. Trump has decided more deeply in parliamentary politics than many other recent presidents. Since his victory against Hillary Clinton in 2016, he has been constant in the campaign trail. His intervention in the downbarot election was sometimes backed, which made him and his supporters a terrible election power. Mr. Trump is swinging his immeasurable skills to persuade and scare members of the Diet to keep his precautions, an important product of modern politics.
It was not comfortable for all presidents to jump into parliamentary political politics. Jimmy Carter hated the role of the president of the party’s architect. He enjoyed the government’s unified rule and had a much larger number than Trump had ever had, but he did policies such as the Panama Canal Treaty that did not meet political needs. The promotion was offended the members of his own party. He was rarely recruited to his fellow Democratic members, and many of the Party had left him before the presidential position ended in 1981.
Trump understands the importance of the party’s loyalty. The Republican members, including those who accused the January 6 riot, hindered his removal, and in 2019 and 2021, when he survived, it was very valuable for both of his bullet EACH. It was done.
To do so, unlike most President, Trump has spurred the need to reach out to the opposition. He instinctively understood the red map dynamics. He did not fight the division, but he brought his profits, led to a Republican politician, mobilized, and convinced that he was the best chance he would take.
Of course, sometimes his tactics works for him. Many of the candidates he chose (such as the Herschel Walker in Georgia), probably trying to sacrifice the Republican members of the Republican members, trying to hinder affordable price care. Many of the legislative initiative failed.
With his excessive way to healthcare, Republican member John McCane, a member of the Republican member, killed his abolition in 2017 and contributed to a strong democratic performance in 2018. His political future was suspected in the first half of President Biden, and after the weak performance of the GOP in the middle of 2022, he reached the lowest point of his party. The majority of his parliament is now lighter and smaller in the house than in any time since 1931. He is vulnerable.
When Mr. Trump takes his second phase in threatening the long -term execution of the party, as he is measured by a deep and sustainable election, the representative and the Senator are in 2016. You can turn him on as soon as you gathered behind him in the year. Inflation conditions, which dragged a democratic approval rating, caused by his tariffs, could be in the party’s base and risk fellow Republican members. The reality of a large amount of overseas expulsion and the other response to the major domestic or international crisis may have failed, as occurred in Cobid Pandemic. Eventually, the party does what you need to gain and maintain power.
In the meantime, the Democratic Party can learn something from Trump. By accepting your party’s instinct and developing the power of Congress, you can get the best opportunity to stop the far -right agenda of the Republican Party and rebuild your party. Of course, they should not question the results of the important, fair elections and important legislation procedures, as the enemy is. However, they can focus on committee hearing, floor discussions, corrections, and directors to cause as many problems as possible.
The Democratic Party should also try to beat the Republican members by reflecting their discussions. The party needs to provide a true cheap relief to an American who is struggling and focus on fresh ideas to advertise those ideas with a clear and consistent message. By acting all at once and providing the Republican Party’s conservative populism, the Democratic Party can increase the possibility of returning to power in 2026.
