Policy note
Republicans are defined today more by a single man than perhaps either party has been in decades, even as the clock starts ticking on Donald Trump’s tenure.
By Shane Goldmacher
Reports from Washington
Presidential inaugurations that bring in a new party to force almost feel like the dawn of an era: Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, yet the inauguration of Donald J. Trump was fundamentally different.
The Trump era began 8 years ago, with an intermission with Biden, and President Trump’s return this week cemented his position as the undisputed Republican Party while marking the so-called resistance motion.
Today, Republicans explain themselves through one man, more than any party has in decades, while Trump expires in four years, less than the time he once ruled the country’s political scene. . The Democratic Party is less explained through one specific man. political or vision of what it has been in years, and is troubled by fierce debates over what the party stands for and how strongly to oppose Trump.
“Here I am,” Trump said in his inaugural address. The other American people have spoken. “
Trump is a president in the apogee of his powers, but also closer to an era of the lame duck than any predecessor of the fashionable fashion age. The wonderful uncertainty lies in how this contradiction is manifested, in terms of its ability to put their time table and its unique control of Republican voters.
He is already racing to use his authority while he has it, with a raft of sweeping executive orders on immigration and energy, and is also unraveling diversity initiatives in the federal government. He moved so swiftly that he began by signing his first orders at a post-inauguration rally, even before he had returned to the White House as president. Mr. Trump’s honeymoon with the public could last, or his pursuit of so expansive an agenda so quickly could spark intense backlash.
Much of what has already happened with Mr. Trump is unprecedented: denying the 2020 election; Waving on January 6, 2021; their accusations; Their confidence: that it can be disorienting to delineate the impossible from the impossible, such as their blinking comments and nodding in the instance of a third term.
