People are yet to realize how severe the impact is when one party wins a trifecta in an election. Last year, not only did the Republican Party win the presidency with Trump and Vance, but they also won the House of Representatives and, most importantly, the Senate. Yup, that’s basically why Trump is moving the way he is—because he’s allowed to. That’s also why the government was shut down and might be again in the first half of the year. But by the second term, Republicans are likely to lose some of this extreme power. The world has revolved around Trump throughout 2025 and will likely continue to do so for most of 2026. Don’t be surprised this is how shifts works :P
