With Trump in his second term as the President of the U.S., he has taken many actions that may be questionable from a legal perspective. Even if they are legal, they are definitely not for the benefits of the whole country, but only for the Republican Party and often for the benefits of Trump and his family.
Trump has manifested in his second term as the worst of himself. Not only that he is not serving as the President of the whole nation, he has manifested himself as the president of the Republican Party, and more specifically as the head of that part of the Republican Party that aligns fully with themselves and not the party representing the whole country. He has abandoned those who are not wealthy, he has abandoned those who are not as well established financially or as healthy or compensated by health insurance including government established health insurance. He has reduced funding for the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as Food Stamps) and for the Afforded Care Act (ACA), the comprehensive healthcare reform that was signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010. and commonly referred to as Obamacare.
His policies benefit the rich and those who can support themselves if they are faced with medical problems. He has abandoned the majority of the people who are not among the country’s wealthy class, he has diminished those government policies that can help the country’s poorer classes.
I think that there are two general policies that govern Trump’s presidency, especially his second term. He knows that the policies he plans to implement will not be popular, perhaps resulting in a lot of unrest. He wanted to have his military police under him to handle the public unrest. Since normally the police is under the state or local governments, he wanted his own police under his control. That was why he wanted the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to serve as his military police.
Secondly, he also knows his policies may be very unpopular and he may not be rated highly and knows that he may not have a lot of followers under his party and that is why he is creating the ground work for questioning various voting results. He also knows that he can unleash his conservative ultra rightish click of followers who tried to rise up to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. Many of these followers were arrested and sentenced to prison, but Trump pardoned them, and he may reuse them in the future. He is preparing to overrule whatever election results will turn out in the future. He is more than a dictator who plans to overthrow whatever popular voting will turn out.
This is Trump’s one two punch: (1) Military police with ICE under his control, and (2) preparing to question and overthrow popular elections using whatever means necessary.
