In Trump's second term, a brave president did not mark

Copyright © HT Digital Streams Limit all rights reserved. Trump is in the weeds of the government in a way he was not summarized during the first term (Reuters), Trump is regularly repealing authoritarianism and ignoring the caution of his advisers. Some assistants to Donald Trump warned the president that building a ballroom in the White House would force them to break down part of the eastern wing and disrupt daily operations and tours, according to people familiar with the discussions. Trump said he would build it anyway, and the contract was given to builders chosen by the White House. In his first term, administration officials regularly curbed Trump’s impulses on large and small matters, including on rates, immigration and the control of the Federal Reserve. In his second, Trump was surrounded by fewer people trying to disrupt him, according to White House officials, Trump’s unions and observers of the presidency. “I think he has learned that there is not much that can really stop him from stopping what he wants,” says Marc Short, who was Trump’s director of legislative matters in his first term. In recent days, Trump has a call to end the vote, a new policy announced to force local governments to abandon cashless-Bail policies, threatened to send the army to Baltimore and said he also wanted to send it to New York and Chicago, pushing the boundaries of his authority. In one of the most aggressive steps yet in that direction, he tried on Monday to remove the Governor of the Federal Reserve from her post, with a conflict with the Supreme Court, which recently suggested that the central bank be protected from direct political manipulation. Some of his new prescriptions are encouraged by advisers, while others come from Trump himself. Seven months after his second term, Trump also focused more often on authoritarianism, after posting during the campaign, he would only be a dictator on “day one” of his presidency. The remark made indignation of Democrats, who built their losing campaign around Trump as a threat to democracy. In the Oval Office on Monday, Trump praised his own tough-on-crime policy in Washington, DC, by returning to the theme. “Many people say,” Maybe we like a dictator, “he said. “I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator, “he added. It is the latest flirting of Trump with a kind of government that the US throws during its establishment, bends the federal muscle and burst through the norms that have limited other presidents. Trump is in the weeds of the government in a way it was not during the first term, and has called on shooting and rental at agencies and gave ideas, administrative officials said. Since being adopted in January, Trump has threatened and withdrawed extensive settlements of top universities, law firms, technical and media companies. He sent us Marines to Los Angeles over the objection of local elected officials, and took over the Washington Police Force and ordered thousands of troops and federal officers in the streets. He fired the economy official who produced a monthly job report that upset him; commands that career officers have been fired at agencies; And even try to fire officials at institutions that he technically does not run, including the National Portrait Gallery. Few assistants pushed back on any of the movements, and he was cheered regularly. One rare area that Trump has faltered this year: Rates. He has withdrawn several times amid concerns about the response of financial markets. Trump is motivated by “control of all US institutions”, said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. “It seems he wants to grab everyone by the neck and say ‘I’m in control. ” Trump also pushed the optics of the presidency in a monarchical direction and held a military parade for the 250th birthday of the army in June. In its first term, officials hampered a similar one by arguing that it would look like a third world’s spectacle. After the Washington parade, Trump told the assistants that he was disappointed with the march, and the US Navy was trying to plan a bigger celebration in the fall, hoping for a brilliant spectacle with SEAFT, administrative officials said. While redesigning the contours of the presidency, he is also physically the symbols of American power. Trump covered the Oval Office with gold flowers reminiscent of the Golf State palaces, about the objection of some advisers, and tells them that he gets compliments from world leaders and visitors. He installed two new flags on lawns on the front and back of the White House. The president gives away baseball hats in the campaign style to visitors who are decorated with the phrase “Trump 2028”, although the Constitution prevents him from running for another term-and keeping them in an office in the White House. American history contains examples of presidents that have changed the office they hold. Andrew Jackson adopted elite and brought populism to the highest office. Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus (later ratified by the congress) and eventually ended slavery. Franklin D. Roosevelt built a social safety net. The Trump is characterized by concentrating federal power in the Oval Office. “I have the right to do everything I want to do,” Trump said on Monday. A spokesman for Trump, Karoline Leavitt, said the president was in office “because of his unparalleled political instincts and his ominous ability to understand what the American people want. All know that President Trump is the decision maker and that he has compiled a phenomenal team,” she said some officials looked shocked by the sharp departure of Trump’s first term. The official who produced the job report at the time, William Beach, said he had regularly talked to Trump’s assistants and had a reverent relationship with them. “There was never any political interference,” he said. “I was very surprised.” The then chief of staff John F. Kelly and others regularly tried to contain Trump, and Trump prevented him from returning immigrants to third countries, former officials said. Former economic advisor Gary Cohn protested for a year at rates; Former White House lawyer Donald McGahn warned to try to influence the investigations into the Justice Department; And former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin expressed attempts to deprive the Federal Reserve of its independence. Bryan Lanza, a lobbyist and Trump bundle, said: “There is no longer anyone behind Trump and moving what he says.” Lanza said the staff in this White House wants to follow what Trump says, not trying to change him. “There were many debates in Trump 1.0 about what he should do and what he couldn’t do,” Lanza said. “He just performs this time.” Trump wants to be more frequent in the White House this term, and music with the doors of the Oval Office Open, which works later that evening and tells his advisers that he has fun. He conquered assistants with stories about how miserable he was during the first term, while struggling with staff members and investigating. At the time, he regularly complained about the Kennedy Center, the Federal Reserve, the National Security Council and the Defense and Justice Departments, but did little to actually form it, former administration officials said, and it seemed like he accepted that there were boundaries for his power. He then showed little interest in adopting universities and law firms that are considered liberal, officials said. Trump also responded to criticism, former administration officials said. Trump often wanted to keep world summit on his properties, but did not, for fear of the setback it would provoke, said. He wanted to stay involved in his businesses, but he often said he couldn’t do it, former advisers said. When advisers told him earlier this year that he could not attend a cryptocurrency dinner because it would look like a conflict of interest, he disregarded their advice. The advisers just stayed away. In May, some Trump assistants were questionable about a video that Trump wanted to show that the South African president claimed that “white genocide” was found in his country, but they knew better than trying to intervene, people who are familiar with the episode said. His current chief of staff, Susie Wiles, did not try to use his personal cellphone use, or make him regularly. Wiles told others that her task is to manage the staff, not the president. Trump’s cabinet members are also on board with his vision for the presidency this time. “I do believe that we are in a revolution,” Brooke Rollins, secretary of agriculture, said at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and compared the changes in the country under Trump’s leadership with the birth of the country of 1776 and the civil war. “This is the third with Donald Trump giving the lead.” Write to Josh Dawsey at [email protected] and Annie Lustekey at [email protected] Catch all the business news, Marknuus, break news opportunities and latest news updates on Live Mint.
