Six weeks and two days after his return to the Oval Office, Donald Trump returned to the Capitol, the site of the very recent constitutional party, to declare victory-pass and repeated. On Joe Biden. Evil foreign gangs. Canada. In his speech in a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, Trump claimed that he did more in his first wild weeks in power, through his “quick and continuous work”, from any president at all, including George Washington.
A flood of words followed, so much that Trump, who directs the interior of Fidel Castro, broke the modern record easily about a presidential speech to Congress: Bill Clinton for one hour and “twenty -eight minutes” in 2000. However, there was little news that was put in the Ferson at the beginning when democracy in Texas was in the protest room. Trump made only a little effort to explain his sabotage moves to abandon the traditional alliances of America and attack the federal government at home, and it is preferable to link the greatest visits from his campaign gatherings and the bickens targeting his predecessor, “the worst president in American history.” Much of Trump was inflammation, radical and serious. But it was also familiar, a mixture of bragadocio, self -compassion, partisan yellow and ridiculous lies. It turns out that even the most presidential speeches may seem boring if it continues for a long time.
There is no doubt Allow the richest man in the world To take a saw to the federal government, reduce hundreds of thousands of federal jobs and close federal programs and contracts by one billions of dollars in the challenge of Congress. The law that does not practice the law of the second Trump administration has already touched everything from Reangers in the national parks in America to the decades -continental coalition columns.
But you did not know that from Trump hearing on his way in nearly a hundred minutes of most points of talking about Fox News and Alpha-Male. (The sample: “Sadness is a problem. Sadness is bad. It is over. It has ended,” he said: “Do we not feel better?”) Let us only say that it is the opposite of the technocratic laundry lists that I love the landing of the decline. Trump’s only legislative proposal in his second term is to make the permanent tax cuts approved by Republicans in Congress during his first term; The great disclosure of the speech was an announcement of the “Shipbuilding Office” planned in the White House and pledged to balance the federal budget, which no one literally believed to be replaced. The theatrical performances that were arranged at tonight included the signing of an executive order in the middle of the speeches to rename a national wildlife shelter after the victim of the 12 -year -old murder, and a thirteen -year -old cancer survivor who is recruited as an honorary secret service, and a young man at the House of the Home Point Point exhibition from Trump.
Nevertheless, no performance distraction can erase the world’s sense of chaos caused by Trump, whether he chooses to mention it or not. On the day of the speech, the day of speech began with the Trump market decreased as it decreased twenty -five percent in Canada and Mexico. In the morning that Trump had previously went to the Capitol Hill, the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, presented an exciting attraction, “directly to the American people.” “We don’t want this,” Trudeau said. “We want to work with you as a friend and an ally. We don’t want to see you hurt, too. But your government has chosen to do this for you.”
Trudeau’s call was a little bit of the moment – how can one man escalate alone in the world? And why, exactly, Trump decided to turn Canada from the best friend of America into her enemy? “The United States launched a trade war against Canada, its closest partner and ally, and its closest boyfriend,” Trump routinely inspired by him as a “ruler” in America “the first fifty state.” “At the same time, they talk about working positively with Russia, and they intend to be Vladimir Putin, a dictator, a killer. Make this logical.”
Trump cannot. The great thing, as a letter on Tuesday showed that he does not seem to think he needs it.
Before the speech, there were indications from the Trump team that he might have played Trump’s game familiar with the customs tariff, a kind of fear of the approach that everything realizes to know many of Trump’s previous assistance. On Tuesday afternoon, Howard Lootnick, Trump’s friend in Wall Street and a major campaign contributor, now installed as Minister of Trade, at Fox, suggested that the settlement was at hand with Canada and Mexico, and will be announced soon. Lootnick, Trump, is very fair and very reasonable, “adding,” I think he will work with them. It will not be a temporary stop – no one is about those arrested things – but I think he will discover, “You are doing more and I will meet you in the middle,” and we will announce it tomorrow. “
However, in the speech itself, Trump was almost waxing about the beauty of the tariff as a tool for the national authority. “The customs duties are not only related to the protection of American jobs,” Trump said. “They are about protecting the spirit of our country.” Instead of predicting an imminent deal to end the confrontation with the two neighbor of America, the president warned his supporter of the willingness of “a little adaptation”, and later, “a little turmoil”, which was closer to the next to admit the threat of the tumultuous prices and shares warned by economists. In fact, Trump said he was multiplying on customs duties, and he promised that on April 2, mutual definitions would enter into force on every country in the world that impose any duties on American goods. A lot for Wall Street Traditional wisdom.
As for the geopolitical consequences of the transfer of America’s allies, Abandoning UkraineWe have undoubtedly overwhelmed Putin’s foreign policy to the world’s point of view, Trump barely mentioned it. On the eve of the speech, the Trump administration announced that it was immediately Hanging all the remaining aid To Ukraine – clear revenge after shocking television on Friday The confrontation in the oval office Between Trump and the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zellinski. But in the speech, Trump completely crossed the move, instead chose to mention a new message that Zelinsky sent to him and envisioned himself as a possible peacemaker. It was one of those moments around the trees with Trump. If it blows the liberal international system, it does not explain the reason America is now alongside RussiaHow do you know if this happened at all?
Even before the bowel punches in the past few days, Trump has already in a negative area with the public. According to FiveTyeight Almost two percent As of today – immediately from any other president in our lives at this stage of his term, with the exception of Trump’s first period, when he was already six points underwater, as polls said, on This day in March 2017. The point is not so much that Trump is so popular that it is the most attractive number. Tuesday’s speech was similar to being beaten in the face with this fact again and again, as half of the house room applauded with an expected phrase on Trump’s words and half of the stone face, and it seems as if the world has ended.
For this reason, for me, the scene of the night came even before Trump began speaking, while he was walking in the corridor, and for a short period, he was facing a member of a democratic conference from New Mexico, Melanie Stansbury, using a small, frequent banner. “This is not normal,” he said. Once she flashes, a member of the Republican Congress from Texas, Lance Juden, torn the sign of her hands and threw it into the air. It was called the new era in the Trump era, where members of Congress like young children fight on the ground while Putin shines on the greatest ownership in modern history. It is a golden age, from two brackets. ♦
