Hello children (the median age)
I see you are all very afraid of trump. regardless of if u are an american citizen or not.
Do you have to be? I'm not so sure.
If you want true explanation, read the following.
Trump has campaigned since 2015. this is the longest running campaign of any US president. Harris has campaigned for only 100 days. this is the shortest campaign of any US president. This is the first and foremost important detail.
This campaign trump had discussed the following points (for those who are unaware):
Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, branded as “Agenda 47,” builds on his previous "America First" philosophy and proposes extensive changes across multiple areas, especially immigration, national security, and economic policy.
Immigration and Border Control
Trump aims to resume strict immigration policies, including expanding the border wall and initiating what he calls the "largest domestic deportation operation" in U.S. history. This plan would focus on rapidly removing undocumented immigrants and reactivating the controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy, requiring asylum seekers to wait outside the U.S. while their cases are processed. He also advocates for using military forces to assist in border enforcement and combat drug cartels.
Crime and Law Enforcement
Trump has proposed a tough-on-crime stance, including imposing the death penalty for drug traffickers and expanding legal protections for police. He has promised to pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riots, signaling his ongoing support for those convicted during this period
Economic Plans
Trump’s economic agenda includes substantial deregulation, reducing federal oversight on industries, and enforcing protective trade measures. He also wants to bring back jobs by discouraging offshoring and promoting American manufacturing. One unusual initiative is his idea to build “freedom cities” on federally-owned land to spur innovation and economic growth
Foreign Policy
Trump’s foreign policy approach continues to prioritize a strong stance on national security and trade relations, particularly with China. He also advocates for a “fentanyl blockade,” which would deploy the U.S. Navy to disrupt drug trafficking routes. His policies aim to reduce involvement in multilateral institutions and limit foreign aid programs
Social Issues and Education
On social issues, Trump has taken a conservative stance. His agenda includes banning federal funding for diversity programs, eliminating gender-affirming care for minors, and restricting transgender individuals in certain contexts, such as military service. For education, he has proposed widening school choice and opposing mandates, like vaccine requirements in schools
The question is, can he mandate and impose all of this? Can he fully rule these things out, and force them upon not only america, but the world podium. Can he do all this without pushback?
The simple answer is of course no. of course he cant.
How would this look in reality?
With Trump getting a win or a second term, it seems that fully enacting his ambitious agenda would likely face significant challenges and pushback from multiple fronts, including Congress, the courts, state governments, and federal agencies. Here’s how these potential obstacles might play out:
Congressional Opposition
Many of Trump's proposals, like increased funding for border enforcement, revoking diversity initiatives, and sweeping changes to federal regulations, would require the approval of Congress. If Democrats control one or both chambers, they would likely block or significantly modify these initiatives. Even with a Republican-controlled Congress, Trump might face resistance on issues where GOP lawmakers have diverse viewpoints, such as his proposed tariffs or limits on certain free-market principles (we currently have a republican controlled congress, it looks like.)
Judicial Review
The U.S. court system, especially the Supreme Court, can act as a significant check on presidential power. Many of Trump’s proposals, like using the military for domestic deportations or limiting birthright citizenship, would face immediate legal challenges. Federal courts previously blocked or delayed several of Trump’s executive actions during his first term, such as the travel ban and border wall funding. Judges could similarly halt policies they find to be unconstitutional or not within presidential powers
Federal Bureaucracy and Agency Pushback
Trump’s plan to reduce the power of federal agencies and limit their independence could create tensions with civil servants and agency heads. Federal agencies often have procedures and protections in place that shield them from sudden changes. While a president can influence these agencies, achieving major restructuring or reductions in authority—such as bypassing regulatory protocols—would likely meet internal resistance and possibly legal challenges
State Governments and Local Authorities
States, particularly those with Democratic leadership, would likely resist Trump’s initiatives that encroach on state authority (like the blue states New York and California), like immigration enforcement measures or restrictions on diversity programs in schools. States have already challenged federal policies in areas like healthcare, education, and environmental protections, and we can expect further litigation and noncompliance from states that oppose his policies. Moreover, some states might pass their own laws that counteract federal directives, leading to policy conflicts that often end up in the courts
Public Opinion and Social Pushback
Some of Trump’s policies, especially those involving social issues like restricting gender-affirming care or broad immigration crackdowns, could lead to widespread protests, boycotts, and social resistance. Public opinion can influence both elected officials and courts, indirectly shaping how successfully policies are implemented. If Trump's policies spark public backlash, it might lead to slower implementation, especially in politically mixed areas where state and local authorities are responsive to community views
Economics
Major economies, especially in the EU and China, would likely respond with counter-tariffs or by seeking stronger trade relationships with countries that do not impose protectionist policies. Some allies may also turn to multilateral trade agreements, like the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), to reduce reliance on the U.S. market and lessen their exposure to American tariffs
Climate
European and other environmentally proactive nations might strengthen their own climate alliances, possibly imposing carbon border taxes on U.S. goods to offset environmental disparities. This could also lead to global environmental organizations and NGOs putting pressure on American corporations to align with international standards, regardless of U.S. policies. Domestic American cities and states with strong environmental commitments may also continue their own climate initiatives, further complicating the federal stance on climate policy
Global and military security
NATO allies, particularly in Europe, would likely push back by increasing their own defense spending to reduce dependency on the U.S. Some European countries may strengthen defense partnerships outside NATO, such as with the European Defense Fund or by forming new regional alliances. Countries in volatile regions may also seek security assurances from other global powers, like the EU or China, if they perceive a decline in U.S. commitment to international security
Foreign aid
Developing countries that rely on U.S. aid could seek assistance from other global powers, like China, which has been increasing its international aid and investment through initiatives like the Belt and Road. European nations, Japan, and regional organizations may also fill some funding gaps, though they might face limitations without U.S. contributions. Global health organizations may partner with private corporations and philanthropic foundations to offset lost funding, though this could come with challenges in coordination and scale
To summarise:
Dear kids, do not worry. this old fart will do as good as he did last term, which is concluded with kicking sand and crying while being ripped out of his white-house-villa. this man is as much of a fraud as he is now, when he is president. don't let the fearmongering silence you into submission. think critically, learn, go to school read papers. your missed education turns you into a tool. dont let it happen!

I hear you a lot. Maybe so. I think it would take a whole revamp of the way our society runs with politics and understanding for that to even be able to genuinely change truly. Also the destruction of the electoral collage/gerrymandering and 2 party system. A lot of folks are set in their ways tho, I understand

If anything i think other parts of the world are heading to look very alike.

trump's 2024 term is going to be the best we've ever seen and it is REALLY funny seeing you all mald about it

lol best in entertainment sure. best in everything else? i doubt it.
Also, this post is entirely neutral, it just discusses the possibilities of his claims and ways to work out various ideas in his 2025 plan.
If you see that as being "mad" (which i am not, considering i am not american) you might be offended yourself that a lot of what he says isn't realistically achievable. At least not in the extremely short term he claims he can do it.
by 爪卂ㄒ; ; Report
he has complete control over the house, senate, supreme justices, etc.
i dont think you understand how our government works and that makes sense given you dont even live here
by sweetypuss; ; Report
i dont think you even read what i said or checked the date of the post at all.
At that time there was no speaking about trumps total control, the only thing mentioned were the likely election results.
On top of that, at least 60% of the post is about foreign policies with europe and the like. which do concern me, and i'm sure i know more about than the average american.
On top of that i'd like to mention the burden of proof: i want to believe you, but you're not telling me why or how trump is so great. so how are people going to listen?

It's not Trump I'm worried about, at the end of the day.
It's the people that voted for him, the ones galvanized by him, the ones that can and will just roll over, and the ones that just got the green light that this sorta thing is hunky-dory now.

Well said and me too..
And even scarier is the fact that people DID NOT VOTE on the democratic side! Especially people my age. (18-25). It’s disappointing to see such a right being wasted. I hope we gain more media literacy and awareness during trumps term.
by 爪卂ㄒ; ; Report
yes i agree that the people that voted for him might be scary because of it but don’t worry, i think that at least half of the people didn’t actively vote on him for the ani trans gay shit but just for a few factors they do agree with. Politics in America just go weird like that, you can only really choose between one thats good for that and bad for that or one who’s bad for that but good for the other. You can of course vote for other parties but they aren’t nearly as well known and most likely don’t stand a chance.

it translated as ''normal'' and they gave me two kudo's. so i'm taking it as positive.
Either way, thank you for your compliment!

Yeah, the phrase "нормалдаки" means normal but its quite distorted and carries a more negative and trolling subtext... It gained popularity primarily through the streamer Mellstroy, who is known for promoting casinos and engaging in controversial behavior, including beating women
