Trump doesn't like half-measures. erstwhile he comes back, it's a bang. erstwhile he's in charge, he's wide. And erstwhile you ask him where the boundaries are, he shrugs his arms. He began with his appearance in the Oval Office on 20 January 2025, during which he pardoned hundreds of his supporters participating in the attack on Capitol 4 years earlier. He hasn't slowed down since. He carried out and continues to carry out aggressive deportations. He was dissolving agencies. He “signed” the U.S. from many global organizations. He cut abroad aid by billions of dollars. His administration issued a evidence number of decrees. any of them have already been challenged by courts. But the signal went into the world. And the planet is crucial to Trump. In abroad policy, he always felt assured due to the fact that there the American constitution leaves him with the widest field of action. And he enjoyed that freedom. Military operations in Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria. Boat raids in the Caribbean. – Presidents have always had large freedom abroad, but Trump goes on – evaluates erstwhile congresswoman Barbara Comstock. – This is not just a consequence to crises. It's a permanent kind of government. There are besides threats to allies, attempts to impose "reciprocal duties" on the full world, as well as something that resembles the worship of the individual – building a ballroom in the White home for $400 million and adding its name to the celebrated Kennedy Center. Trump does not hide that he does not like restrictions: – The only brake is my morality and my mind.. After a year of second term, the issue that has been considered inappropriate in American politics so far: is the president of the United States an autocrat? – It's not just bending the rules. It's a sprint towards autocracy – categorically Norman Ornstein from the American Enterprise Institute. Meanwhile, Republican legislature remained passive. There were no hearings, no war resolutions were falling, surveillance was mostly on paper. Is that autocracy? Not yet, due to the fact that the courts work, the media write, the elections exist. The strategy is functioning. Trump did not overthrow democracy. He's just investigating it. He'll see how long it lasts. And he does it with apparent satisfaction. 1 year after taking office, he gave an interview to Fox News. Summing up the achievements of his administration, he said: – I think we did a large job.
