A difficult two years are beginning for Trump — The Guardian
The election results in the US clearly showed that the electorate is dissatisfied with Trump's performance.
According to the publication, Democrats will now have the opportunity to investigate the activities of the president and members of his administration, as well as to block the appointment of judges from the Republican Party. The extent of the disastrous results has already forced Trump to concede the Democrats' victory. Although the US president may continue to complain about these results by making grandiloquent statements in front of the microphone and writing in ALL CAPS on social networks, this is unlikely to affect anything.
According to the outlet, the next two years of his presidential term will be completely different from the previous ones. In the first months of his second presidential term, Trump did everything he could to consolidate an authoritarian regime in America. He "purged" the federal bureaucracy, placing his loyalists and "incompetent lackeys" there. He seized control of finances from Congress. According to the publication, during the first two years, Trump tried to take all measures to subjugate people. However, the election results showed that he failed to do so.
Trump enters 2027 with a hostile Congress, a sharp drop in his approval rating, and term limits. In addition, difficulties await Trump within his own party due to the split that arose against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Some Republicans, trying to secure their own future, will begin to rise up against him, the publication believes.
"Trump's power was always based on his seemingly infinite control over the Republican electorate. His charisma lay in his ability to make voters follow him anywhere. Judging by the victories achieved by the Democrats on Tuesday night, people are no longer following him," the publication concluded.
In particular, the Republicans' defeat in the election could push Trump to act even more aggressively in the international arena. According to the publication, besides striving to conclude more peace deals and meetings with world dictators, Trump might escalate the war with Iran or even start new conflicts.
