Your guide to what the American elections mean 2024 for Washington and the world
In Silicon Valley, they move quickly and break things. In Washington, they move slowly and modify them. Lenin could have expected to open up to Donald Trump’s second state when he mocked contracts where nothing and weeks occur when contracts occur. Washington, an institutional city where the respect of the “normal regime” has the original owners, is not equipped with the speed that Trump overwhelmed in the region in the past twenty days. How it depends on reshaping the United States in its image of the overwhelming federal capital in America with shock and dread. Regardless of the many residencies that the court ordered, its tactics have been effective so far.
He has two goals that are not exposed. The first is to re -establish the imperial presidency that was buried in the mid -seventies after Richard Nixon resigned. Washington, after Watst, approved a wave of reforms that linked the hands of the executive branch, especially the CIA, the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Investigation Office. Trump melts these restrictions. The second is to earn money for himself and his family. The value of millions of dollars in Mimi currencies launched by President and First Lady Melania Trump shortly before his appearance, which will also be planned.
Trump is the master of distraction. Whether he blames the worst air disaster in America for years for the employment of Dei or pledges to put us on the ground in the Gaza Strip, Trump fills the theater. The rhythm is almost a shock. Three other weeks of this can become traumatly boring. Either way, Trump has the dominance of the frequency range.
A simple catalog of what Trump did in his opening days consumes this column. What will happen is his aggressive movements in the so-called state-energy ministries-repressive weapons of the state. Last month, Beit Higseth, a former weekend broadcaster in Fox News, moved to the Pentagon as Minister of Defense. Higseth has already pledged to send thousands of forces to the Mexican American border. It is definitely a matter of time before the forces are deployed in remote areas to help increase illegal immigrants to deport.
On Wednesday, Bam Bondi, former Public Prosecutor in Florida, head of the Ministry of Justice, was confirmed. It cleanses the section of those who investigated in Trump during the chairmanship of Joe Biden. Bondi also called for a full list of thousands of FBI officers participating in the investigation of riots on January 6 – a move that sparked lawsuits from the FBI category to protect their identities. It also reduced the Doj “Kleptocrate” initiative, which seized the origins of corrupt foreign actors, including the Russian oligo.
Cash Patel, a follower of militants, is likely to be confirmed next week as director of the Federal Investigation Office. Post -Watergate reforms aim to prevent the repetition of Jlygar Hoover, the FBI head for a long time. Two years ago, Patel wrote a book that recounts 60 years of enemies to be investigated if Trump returns to office. In the Senate’s certificate last week, he denied any revenge plans and said that his names were simply “diligent” (although this is another word of the list). Among the goals of Battle Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Mark Millie, the retired president of the joint chiefs of staff.
As Washington goes, the world goes. The imperial presidency requires a global stage. In his opening speech, Trump said he wanted to re -occupy the Panama channel. Since then, he has reiterated his request to obtain Greenland from Denmark, and insisted that Canada join the union, and retracted the conversion of the ethnically cleaned Gaza Strip to “Riviera for the Middle East”. Scientists discuss whether Trump is not overlapping, as many have been interested until recently, or in reality as a single soldier burning the rules, making it the best of his current movements.
In both cases, it is an independent real estate developer. His son -in -law Jared Kushner was the first to mention the “waterfront property” with a distinctive value in Gaza almost a year ago. Trump first greedy to be supposed to be a rich property in Greenland during his first term. It dates back with Panama, 20 years old and Trump Club, the fateful ocean in Panama. Panama this week refuted Washington’s announcement that the American ships will now have free passage through the channel. Denmark has also resisted Trump’s designs on its real estate in the Arctic. Meanwhile, the world is accustomed to the modernity of Canada: all political parties in the country are now “Canada first”.
Who can separate Trump’s signal from his noise? In his opening speech, he pledged equivalent to a system change. His tearing of the bases book was strengthened by the list of guests, the most clear and the three richest men in the world, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. Each of them donated by Trump. As a spear to cleanse the deep state of Trump, Musk is the leader of that package. The rest of the internal gathering is largely filled with Maga and Brock followers. There was also a group of living Trump ancestors, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Piden. Since the former presidents and their husbands listened to Trump’s plans for a new golden age, their isolation was blatant. After twenty days of icons, they resemble the old Washington regime.
