Looks like the upcoming Trump regime is taking a LEFT turn.
Economy is not bad after all and deportations are on ICE. Mexico will take back illegal Mexicans but not from any other South American. So this pretty much leaves them in a "no can do" situation.
Tariffs are pretty much dead and it was a bad idea to begin with. GOP House will have a very slim margin and remains to be seen if Johnson will be elected and I believe he will with Gaetz out of the House. So the House at best will limp along with a three seat majority for the next three months or so. Only agenda is the tax cuts, doubt it will be as easy with tariffs off the table.
And today it is reported that Trump is planning to keep Jerome Powell as Fed chair which is quite revealing. Chances are the mortgage rates will stay high for another year or so.
Trump it seems is afraid of lobbying for his nominees, specifically Hegseth. reason give is he does not want to look like a loser before his administration takes over. Gaetz, Hegseth, Gabbard, Kash...............list is long and not very distinguished.
So what is left for the MAGA team?
DOGE and retribution will be in full swing, except Biden may blunt the blow by issuing preemptive pardons. Musk will steal the show and at some point, Trump will have to muzzle him, another "no can do".
