Your guide for what American choices 2024 means for Washington and the world
Donald Trump manages well in his threats. Giving Elon Musk Plenipotentriial powers, driving a cyber truck through the American Constitution, threatening the Economic War Allies, accusing Dei of the worst air accident in the country and destroying the US assistance agency are just a sample of moves in the introductory two -part neighborhood. Trump burns the American book. If he continues this way, Democrats will have no other choice but to send him a strong letter.
To claim that the US minority party is too drunk to assemble itself, it would be a charity. None of Trump’s moves should be a surprise. He “floods the zone” as he did in 2017. For years, he insisted that the US system was rotting. Now he puts his torch. In addition to the market, which still have problems with processing that Trump means what he says, Democrats are exposed as complacent.
Because he is not parliamentary, the US is missing the opposition leader who will lead a return fight. The closest system approximation, Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority leader, follows the rules of the missing age. Democrats were able to block the hearing to confirm Trump candidates – many of whom would make a chamber laugh at the last time. One Republican, Alabama Tommy Tuberville, froze all the military appointments of Joe Biden for almost all 2023, but Democrats follow the regular order.
They are also invisible to the American public. A few hours after sworn, Trump issued a blanket for about 1500 people convicted of the Capitol Hill Storm four years ago and a switch for 14 hardcore offenses. Eight days later, Democratic leaders held a press conference to condemn Trump’s move. Pardonies were green light on future attacks on American democracy – including one that Schumer could claim to be happening now. Democrats had to say so many days.
It’s not like Schumer surpasses colleagues. A few days after Trump’s inauguration, Hakeem Jeffries, a democratic leader in the House of Representatives, announced: “The presidents come and the presidents go. Through all that. God is still on the throne. “This is possible. But fatalism has no record of stopping revolutions.
Do not even look at the Democratic National Committee. Last weekend DNC chose a new chair, Ken Martin, a party officer in Minnesota. But Hustings was noticed because of the outgoing chairman Jaime Harrison to adhere to the place for a non-binic democrat on his seven-member committee. Delegates also admitted that America was built on indigenous land. Words like “String Quartet” and “Titanic” come to mind.
If everything were still equal, Schumer’s approach would seem reasonable. His view is that Democrats should separate the signal from the noise. An example of this would be the fight against teeth and nails to stop Trump to occupy the zone of the Panaman channel, but neglecting its renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the American Bay. Schumer recently predicted that “Trump would fuck”. Republicans would then lose the mid -term elections in 2026, and Trump then became a poor duck.
Schumer’s book is a game of democratic medium -term shift in 2006 just two years after George W Bush was re -elected. The presidential presentation of Barack Obama arrived three months later. Hope is that Democrats can now pull a similar jump. But Trump is not Bush Junior. He is not even Trump 1.0. They say they always choose your battles. Still, Democrats seem to neglect that they are in full war. Assuming that he will fight the following choices on equal terrain the act of faith. Trump is in power for two weeks. It’s 21 months old.
So what should Democrats do? Many claim that their best course is an alarm when they deserve and hope that, with Trump’s inability, they will be limited by court rulings and market corrections. Here’s another look. Congress is placed aside. One person whose authority should the Senate decide is a musk. Giga-Ticuon has taken control of the Federal Payment System and the Earth’s personal data. There is no legal basis for this.
Where in the Constitution he says that an unpaid richest man in America decides which programs live or die, who to hire and shoot, and who contract? The agent opposition would ask, “Who chose Elona male?” It seems that the act will not make that rally cry. When life gives you a villain, make a lemonade Bond-Villain.
