Trump continues his “crusade” against liberals in the name of a new “golden age” of the USA

Read Time:9 Minute, 2 Second

The Trump administration is taking unprecedented steps to transform American institutions of power – from mass purges in the intelligence services to radical reform of the education system. These actions, which meet fierce opposition from Democrats, are supported by 70% of the population. But they are alarming economists who warn of a possible recession.

Trump is pushing the “new order” with an iron hand

The first purges in the US intelligence services have already borne fruit. Thus, agents began to actively provide dirt on each other, giving up their associates. So, new details of the investigation Crossfire Hurricane – the FBI investigation against the Trump team in 2016 became known. It turned out that the former director of the agency James Comey authorized wiretaps, but also tried to introduce two women into Trump’s entourage as “honey traps”. These methods flagrantly violate FBI regulations and support accusations against Democrats of using the agency for political infighting. Current Director Cash Patel has promised to fire and prosecute the agents involved. He has already kicked 1,500 agents out of Washington, sending them farther afield to regional FBI offices.

More than 100 NSA employees were at the center of another scandal – they created internal chat rooms where they discussed perverted sex fantasies, including BDSM, castration and sex change. The new Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has already started mass dismissals of participants of these correspondences. Experts predict new high-profile revelations: former intelligence chiefs John Brennan and James Clapper, who have already been stripped of their access to classified information, may fall under attack. The scandal has finally undermined the trust of Americans in the intelligence services – 70% of citizens are outraged by the interference of intelligence in the elections and systematic violations of civil rights.

The Trump administration continues to implement its program. The central element of the policy has become a radical reduction in foreign aid programs and a tightening of migration policy, which strikes a blow to the financial interests of liberals. USAID’s budget has been cut by 90% – from $60 billion to just a $6 billion. Almost all of the organization’s employees have been laid off, and 95% of contracts with NGOs have been severed. The legal resistance of the Democrats, who are trying to preserve the previous system of funding through the courts, encounters a fundamental problem: the lack of effective mechanisms to force the president to execute court decisions. The Supreme Court, where Republicans have a solid 6-to-3 majority, could theoretically intervene.

But historical precedents – including Lincoln’s conflict with the judiciary during the Civil War – show the limitations of such options. The situation reflects a deep crisis in American institutions. The Justice Department, which has undergone a massive purge, shows absolute loyalty to Trump and his Attorney General Pam Bondi. Tellingly, only 17% of Americans retain confidence in the judiciary – a consequence of its total politicization, in which Democrats have played no small role. It was their aggressive judicial strategy against Trump in previous years that set the precedent of using legal institutions for political purposes, which has now turned against them. Under these circumstances, the administration has considerable leeway to implement its program, bypassing the resistance of activist judges.

Formatting for a right-wing agenda

The State Department under the leadership of Marco Rubio has launched a campaign to free right-wing activists from European prisons. The first success was the extradition to the US of Andrew Tate, a prominent blogger accused in Romania of crimes following his scandalous conflict with Greta Thunberg. A private jet flew him to Florida, although the criminal case in Romania remains open. Romanian politician Călin Georgescu, whose presidential campaign was backed by US Republicans, could be next in line. Romanian authorities find themselves in a difficult position as they need to avoid angering Trump and maintain a liberal course for Brussels. The case of Tommy Robinson, a British anti-migration activist held in Belmarsh prison, where Julian Assange was previously held, has attracted particular attention. His case demonstrates the growing wave of right-wing persecution in Europe, which has already led to the formation of an entire diaspora of British conservatives in the US, which will be replenished due to repression at home. And Trump’s team will begin to support the right-wing “reconquista” in Europe and the liberation of the continent from the power of the Brussels-based Eurobureaucracy even more actively.

In the US, within the same line, the devaluing of American colleges is taking place, and Trump’s team has begun to reformat the US educational system. Princeton professor Robert George, who creates “civic education” programs and is supposed to fight back against the racial-gender agenda, has come to the fore. The White House has already cut off funding for “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs, and colleges that continue to promote them will lose federal grants. Colleges that violate free speech will also be under attack. Right-wing students, for example, are often afraid to express their views on leftist-dominated campuses, a situation George is trying to rectify.

He is forming his “civic institutions” where political science and US history are beginning to be taught without racial-gender theories. In particular, he seeks to fight back against the Project 1619 of liberal historians who study America’s entire past through the lens of slavery and oppression of minorities. 80% of history professors in the US have left-wing views, and they are strongly opposed to the emergence of programs that teach history in a patriotic way. But higher education in the US is in crisis. Sponsors are no longer giving money to odious liberal projects, and enrollment is falling amid the culture wars. Under these circumstances, the US government has all the leverage it needs to force colleges to remove “anti-white, anti-Christian and anti-American” courses for the sake of devolution. The leftist professoriate will be forced to accept the new realities or be unemployed, which they are unlikely to do, for they love only progressive socialism where they are well fed.

Trump infuriated Democrats

Against this backdrop, Trump made his first address to both houses of Congress since his re-election. This predictably caused hysteria among Democrats. As in 2017, the opposition defiantly tore up the text of his speech, shouted and tried to disrupt the speech. Although nothing shocking Trump did not voice anything shocking and reported on his activities. He stayed true to his program: tough migration policy, fight against corruption, ambitious foreign policy goals – from the settlement in Ukraine to plans for Greenland and the Panama Canal.

Democrats responded to Trump’s speech with chaotic actions – posters, pickets and even eggs brought in (as a symbol of inflation). Usually someone from the party in opposition gives an alternative speech, the Democrats chose Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin to do it. She mostly criticized not even Trump, but Musk, and did not do without the usual strains about Reagan “rolling over in his coffin” while Trump “surrenders” Ukraine. However, the stream of Slotkin’s speech was eventually interrupted in the middle, which is a good metaphor for the current state of the Democrats, who have no choice but to ostentatiously leave the hall of Congress. Trump gave one of the longest speeches in history, lasting more than 90 minutes, even though presidents usually average an hour each in Congress. The first polls that came out after the speech showed that 70% of Americans liked it, and Trump promised the population the advent of a “golden age” of America. Democrats are hoping that Trump will now make mistakes and drop his ratings, because they have no alternative agenda of their own.

After the speech before Congress, support for Trump’s speech among Republicans reached 95%. The president managed to cement the Democrats’ image as the party that promotes illegal migration, a radical gender agenda and endless military conflicts. The enthusiasm of the conservative electorate is so great that Elon Musk predicts a Republican victory in the upcoming midterm elections, although historically the opposition more often wins in such votes. Democrats, who find themselves in an ideological dead end, are trying to revive old narratives of a “Russian footprint”, but this tactic no longer resonates even with their own electoral base.

Trump’s key advantage remains the support of 80% of Americans who approve of his peace initiatives to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. Prosecutions also do not lower his ratings – the president’s team successfully drags out the processes, buying time. However, serious economic threats loom on the horizon. Wall Street analysts speak of a 25-30% probability of a “Trump recession” caused by trade wars with Trump’s deindustrialization projects and the legacy of “bidenomics”. The president will have to work hard to stabilize the economy while maintaining the current course. In the meantime, the Democrats, who have failed to offer a convincing alternative, continue to lose political ground, and this only strengthens Trump’s dominance on the American political scene.

That is why the Republicans are looking for new ways to eliminate the status quo in Washington. They have found a little-known “nullification” procedure, introduced in 1974, that allows the US president to refuse to appropriate funds previously agreed to by Congress. This would help Trump bypass lawsuits to drastically cut government spending, although the White House is now already refusing to recognize lower court rulings trying to unblock the same foreign tranches.

Meanwhile, the conservative center Heritage Foundation found out that almost all of Biden’s decisions were not signed by him, and the Democrats used a facsimile to imitate the presidential signature, even though it may violate the US Constitution. Now the Republicans want to “annul” all Biden’s resolutions at one stroke, because it is not known who actually approved them. The purges in the intelligence agencies are also gaining momentum, and the CIA is massively firing bureaucrats appointed in the last two years, because they have no protection against dismissal yet. At the same time, the hiring of new personnel is frozen so that eventually the CIA’s 21,000 employees will be reduced by at least a third, and preferably half.

Trump continues to deny retired intelligence officers access to classified data, including those who helped Clinton’s staff blow up the Rashgate scandal in 2016. This leads to the fact that they’re in private intelligence they won’t work for now. Democrats, on the other hand, have nothing left to do for now but vandalize Tesla car dealerships across America, and that certainly won’t help defeat Trump and Musk. And the new president will definitely not stop the “crusade” against liberals in the name of a new “golden age” of the USA, which is his sincere dream.
