Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump In the second week of inauguration, it seemed to provide daily intentional impact for the country.
There was a reminder that was a mixed OTIC for his first term. White house I found a back tracking On top of that Directors to freeze federal spending About subsidies and loans. Republican President Not supported After the deadly airplane crash near Washington.
Trump also escalated his movement to the institution elected by him. His administration Exiled the prosecutor who was working on the Capitol Riot case And we have built the foundation for purging the FBI agent. Elon MaskTrump Millionaire alliesI started making an effort Dramatically shrinks federal workers.
Some take -out from the second week:
New administration, old problem
Trump and his team were impressed by some of their critics Stable flow of administrative orders Their first week. The administration seemed to be better organizing and more effective than Trump was the last president.
However, in his second week, Trump’s White House stumbled himself with a confused memo aimed at freezing, confusing the federal government, and filing a lawsuit. The judge temporarily blocked the command, and the memo was immediately canceled. After that, Trump responded to the most fatal American aerial disaster in decades in decades, and tragged tragedy in his personal political crusader. I was motivated.
The controversy and anger cascade is a notorious moment of Trump’s first term, such as his first ban on traveling to people from Muslim countries and his free wheel briefing in COVID-19 pandemic. I remembered some of.
Trump tries to recreate Washington
Through the 2024 campaign, Trump has revealed that Washington is unable to make a small fine adjustment. He wanted a dramatic change, especially at the Judicial Ministry of Justice, who felt that he had been treating him for many years.
After he was appointed, the first step forgiven almost everyone who was prosecuted by the riot on January 6, 2021. Last week, his administration went further. Prosecutor It was pushed outAnd FBI top staff have been ordered to retire or dismiss. A highly official of the Judician, who had previously been involved in Trump’s Legal Defense Team, called for the name of all the FBI agents who worked on January 6.
Other shake -ups have been reported in the capital capital. Secretary of Finance stop And the federal website was so With scrub “Gender ideology”. It seemed that Trump and his allies would go to recreate Washington, or if they did.
If you are suspicious, blame DEI
He repeatedly pointed out efforts to promote as Trump is dealing with the various issues facing the country. Diversity, fairness, inclusion In a society or day as a root cause of many problems.
One of the fastest movements of Trump when capturing an elliptical office was to issue an order. Return the federal government’s DEI initiatives。 Trump and his supporters suggested that such initiative was discriminatory and incompetent.
His administration intends to eradicate it, and has demanded that the federal workers report a continuous secret DEI program. But he has not stopped there.
The investigator is just Aerial collision Near the Reagan National Airport between the Army helicopter and the jet liner, Trump began to speculate that the diversity and comprehensive efforts of the federal government would be responsible. The president was unable to back up their claims after repeatedly pressed it from a reporter in the White House Briefly Room.
When asked why diversity was something to do with crash, “I have common sense. I understand?”
One day ago, Trump led to the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for inflation, pointed out the day again, and in social media networks, “if Fed spent on DEI” and other liberal issues, “inflation is never. It was not a problem. “
Trump had his first big flop
This week was a retreat of the Trump administration’s first big policy. It is a sudden freezing and freezing of the federal subsidy in a public rebellion.
The nationwide community depends on the federal subsidies and loans to execute a huge number of programs and services, from housing and veterans to the Community Helscare Center. The sudden expenditure “Pause” was announced in the office of the management and budget memo. I sent the shock wave coast to the coast。
“Every corner of the country feels the angry of Donald Trump’s cruel plan,” said New York’s Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer at the Congress.
Although the memo has been canceled, the underlying President Trump’s order remains to defeat his expenditure that does not match his climate’s policy. The White House’s face has shown a wider advantage of the government to reduce the scale and range of the government.
Rolling the government abstractly is one thing. However, reducing programs that provide services to veterans, parents, children, the elderly, etc. are completely different political equations.
“Road folk” for federal workers
Trump conducted a campaign by “dismantling a deep nation,” and a large number of federal labor has taken a large amount of destructive efforts.
The new administration had already imposed the freezing of the federal government. After that, millions of federal government employees agree to resign shortly after the business hours ended on Monday, received a “road fork” email immediately after providing a paid vacation for eight months. I did it.
The person who stopped was promised to be paid until September 30. They need to work, and in the meantime they can seek new employment. However, there were a wide range of concerns about the legality of the offer and whether Trump was trying to create a toxic work environment.
Employees need to decide whether to trade by Thursday. If you choose to stay, you need to work full -time from the office and face the “compatible and enhanced standards”. E -mail warned that the government’s future downsizing is likely to be downsized.
It is on the administration that orders the federal government to supervise the efforts of the vacation.
On Friday, Trump replied that he was worried that experienced federal workers would leave. If it turns out to be more, we will get good people to exchange them. … but we want them to leave them. “
Is the United States stuck in the trade war?
Trump has posted to a famous social media that “trade war is good and easy to win.” I will impose tariffs Connected within a few hours Retaliation measures By those countries.
Trump said that tariffs were to stop Fentanyl’s illegal smuggling and prevent illegal immigrants on the US border between Mexico and Canada. The President made a 25 % tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada on Saturday, lowering the ratio of 10 % of Canada oil, natural gas and electricity. China faces 10 % of tariffs.
These movements almost quickly offended Mexico and Canada. Mexico and Canada are two largest trading partners who had previously negotiated Trump in the first term. Both collected the collection of retaliations. Hockey, a Canadian Senator Game, booed the American national anthem. Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, encouraged citizens to buy Canadians.
They oppose the US President who really loves tariffs. He has already promised an increase in imported tax on computer chips, steel, copper, pharmaceuticals, and European unions. His administration has not yet explained why these taxes do not worsen the inflation selected to fix. The Yale University Budget Research Institute estimates that Trump’s tariff costs $ 1,000 to $ 1,200 for average US households.
