On January 20, 2017, Trump came to the U.S. Capitol, pressed the Bible, and officially swore in as the 45th president of the United States**, he finally realized the dream he had endured for many years and stood at the top of American power.
If you ask him what he would most like to say to Obama at this point, he will definitely say the classic line when he hosted the job search reality show：“you're fired！(You've been fired)".
The next thing he needs to do is to "de-Obamaize everything" so that his revenge can be completely realized.
Within hours of his inauguration, Trump impatiently signed the first executive order: repeal Obama's health care reform bill.
This health care reform is a typical case of Obama's controversial case.
Obama used administrative means to popularize universal insurance and force companies to buy health insurance for employees, but due to various mistakes in implementation, the insurance market was disordered, excessive regulation caused insurance companies to suffer heavy losses, and people were unable to pay their medical bills.
These are exactly the things that Trump attacked during the campaign, and now he must deliver on his promises, not to mention that the benefits of repealing this overly idealistic health care policy do more harm than good.
And this is just the beginning, what Trump wants is a full "de-Obamaization".
In the economic and trade sphere, Trump announced his withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
This agreement, but Obama spent two terms racking his brains and running around to negotiate, but Trump stopped it almost without thinking about it, and a group of Democratic congressmen were so angry that they jumped out to accuse, but they were all ignored by Trump.
If the above two measures are still excusable, then the next one fully exposes his selfishness.
On June 1, 2017, Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, adding"He has to act in good conscience, not to support an agreement that punishes the United States, but to an agreement that is fair to the American people. ”
The Paris Agreement is an important international agreement aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, which is an important milestone and an important embodiment of enhancing the international image of the United States, and it can be said to be the proudest political legacy of the Obama administration.
But Trump wants to contradict Obama. As early as the election campaign, he called global warming a big **** without any evidence, and said that it was a "theory fabricated by Chinese".
At that time, people just thought that Trump was just talking, after all, he was usually a big mouth, and he couldn't talk more than his brain. But no one expected that he would really "defy the world's condemnation" and lead the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.
His reasoning is simple: the agreement calls for restrictions on the use of fossil fuels, which would cost the US economy $3 trillion. After all, Trump is a businessman, and he only cares about whether he can make money, and energy conservation and emission reduction, human destiny and so on are worthless in his eyes.
Relying on this series of "every Olympics must be opposed" measures, Trump successfully ignited the three fires of his presidency.
Authority is there, but what about ability?
What about "make america greatest again"?
["America First"].
Trump quickly proved that he was not just sensationalist, that he did have his own economic philosophy, but at the expense of America's international influence.
Trump is a fan of Reagan, and his slogan "Make America Great Again" is on Reagan.
He didn't say when the last time he saw America as "greatest" was, but many people think it should be the Reagan era, after all, his business empire grew in that era.
As a result, Trump's economic policy claims bear the shadow of "Reaganomics."
For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced on December 22, 2017, the personal income tax, corporate income tax, and cross-border income tax have all been reduced on a large scale, and the personal income tax threshold has also been raised.
The last time the United States cut taxes on such a large scale was during the Reagan period.
The effect of tax cuts is clear at a glance, people and businesses have money, unemployment is low, and consumption can be driven, and the GDP growth rate of the United States will soon increase from 22% to 29%。
As a fan of Reagan, Trump has also learned Reagan's new hegemonic approach to foreign economics, but in contrast, the "America First" principle he advocates is more blatant and reckless.
The "America First" theory is first embodied in the improvement of the manufacturing industry.
Trump demanded the promotion of the status and interests of workers by means of intervention, and through the distribution of administrative policies at all levels, the agricultural products and raw materials in the production departments were produced in the United States as much as possible, and the principle of "buying American goods, hiring Americans" was implemented to the end.
This kind of populist behavior, executed by executive order, may seem unimaginable in the 21st century, when the global economy is becoming more and more interconnected, but it is happening.
Of course, for Trump**, they did pay off, and the reshoring of manufacturing really happened.
But unlike Reagan, Reagan wanted the United States to become the world hegemon, followed by a large number of younger brothers, who would fight whoever he couldn't get used to. Trump's idea is the opposite, he cares more about money than the world hegemony of the United States, and if he can't earn money, it makes no sense to have more dead brothers.
And so we see:
Trump tweeted that NATO countries pay 2% of GDP; South Korea is required to pay $60 billion a year for the U.S. military in South Korea, a figure that was previously (44.).600 million US dollars) 13 times, if they do not agree they will have to withdraw their troops; Demand that Congress reduce military spending on troops stationed in the Middle East and reduce the number of troops stationed there; At one point, he also had the idea of withdrawing from NATO or disbanding NATO;
Trump thinks that with this money, is it not good to use it to develop manufacturing or build walls?
When talking about Trump's campaign in the last issue, he said that he was very resistant to new immigrants and tried his best to incite anti-immigrant sentiment among the people.
Sure enough, after he took office, he planned to ask the federal department to tighten the "H-1B visa" to ensure that the foreigners who obtain visas are high-level professionals that the United States needs, and the United States officials also issued a statement saying that the United States only welcomes the smartest and best people in the world.
Trump's main targets are Muslims and Latin American immigrants, and for the former, he issued a "ban on Muslims"; In response to the latter, he proposed to build a border wall on the US-Mexico border, at the expense of tens of billions of dollars in defense spending. Although some of the walls were damaged by the hurricane, he insisted on going his own way, and even declared a national state of emergency.
The "America First" theory is tantamount to piercing the last layer of "freedom" and "democracy" window paper of the "lighthouse country", and when the whole world looks at Trump's behavior with contempt, Trump throws out the bombshell of his "America First" theoryWar against China.
[Sino-US ** war].
Trump's anti-China has not been a day or two.
As early as the election campaign, he has been emphasizing the "China threat theory", but no one expected that he would directly regard China as the biggest "strategic rival" in the "** Strategy Report" in December 2017 and talk about China's "economic aggression" against the United States.
This is completely untenable slander!
In March 2018, he openly single-handedly provoked a war against China in response to the so-called "unfair trade".
The United States has a long history of deficit with China, which is not only due to the strong consumer demand in the United States, but also due to the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry and the low quality of products; What's more, China is in a period of rapid development, and the large-scale manufacturing outflow from the United States is naturally at a disadvantage in the competition with China. Trump, who has decades of business experience, doesn't fail to understand this, but he's just going to get things done.
He understands that his series of extreme policies have caused a lot of turmoil in the United States, and his ability to govern is being questioned, and if he can transfer the contradictions to foreign countries, he can continue to win over voters and ensure the stability of the regime.
So in the whole year of 2018, the United States imposed tariffs on more than 1,300 Chinese goods and restricted various technologies and patents, from daily necessities such as battery panels and washing machines, to industrial raw materials such as steel and aluminum, to technology products such as aircraft and **.
Of course, China will not get used to Trump, every time Trump comes out with a new tariff bill, China will introduce a countermeasure balance bill, and as a result, in 2018, the United States' ** deficit with China has increased instead of falling, and it is as high as 3233$200 million.
But Trump still did not give up, and boldly pointed the finger at Huawei, the benchmark of China's national enterprises.
In 2018, Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's Chief Financial Officer, was in Canada**; In March 2019, the United States added Huawei to the "Entity List"; In July, the United States announced a ban on Huawei from using U.S.-designed chips and a ban on the use of U.S. chipmakers to manufacture for Huawei.
Since then, it has instigated Samsung, Sony and other semiconductor companies to join the sanctions against Huawei, and the "stuck neck" problem that we often hear recently has also come from this.
When Trump was complacent about "stuck neck", a sudden tsunami swept the whole world, which completely let the people see Trump's incompetence, and indirectly led to Trump's, that is, the outbreak of the new crown epidemic.
[Trump's**].
In the three months since the outbreak of the epidemic, Trump has not done anything, but stood on the other side of the ocean and said cool words.
When the crisis came, Trump still carried out his concept of "freedom", and made endless remarks, including "boasting that he was born with a talent for understanding this virus", believing that the mortality rate was fake, and the problem was not so serious.
The most outrageous thing is that he also claimed that "disinfectants can destroy the virus in a minute, can they be injected in the body or lungs".
Such ignorant remarks have caused a large number of even more ignorant Americans to mistakenly take disinfectants and go to hospitals.
Afterwards, Trump vowed that he would not be held accountable for the remarks
Finally, on October 1, this "genius**", who claimed to have been born to understand new crown pneumonia, got new crown pneumonia himself.
More and more people are calmly thinking about what Trump has done in the past 4 years, Trump's absurd remarks seem so black humorous in front of the major proposition of life and death, can such a ** really make America "great again"?
Trump's supporters are skeptical.
In the midst of the chaos in American society, a new round of America** began.
It's not so much a Biden-Trump contest as a contest between Trump supporters and Trump's opponents, and it doesn't matter who Biden is. We all know the end result, with Trump's opponents prevailing.
After Trump was gloomy, he immediately expressed his disapproval of the election results, but the raw rice has been cooked, and Biden has already lived in the White House, and it would be undignified to mess around with him again.
But the 74-year-old man still didn't give up, he told all Americans after **"He'll be back. ”
But at the same time, a political ** against unprecedented times is also quietly being planned.
