Razor thin house gap majority. It might be a little difficult for Ronald Trump and his team to pass some of their reforms and changes, and there are several Republicans ministers that are rejecting some of his proposal before being nominated as a president. They know that this is his last term
In the USA workers have an obsession with leaders and presidents, it is like worshipping a feudal king, and there is an obsession between republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives, the concept of class struggle does not exist, it is like there is not any other alternative for the working, and like having their own political party is something impossible. In the 2024 election many workers did not vote for either of the political parties, and the percentage is getting smaller, in other countries a margin of 25% would require a second election but the king can be elected by a minority
It looks that King Donald Trump is not going to be able to carry some of his campaign promises, and probably some members of the US Congress are not going to approve some of his proposal, they know that this is his last intent to become president again and they want to keep their jobs for the next partial election, the king can lose part of his house of lords, and house of the commons members. The oligarchs that were the founders of the USA never believe in the rules of the majority
Trump triumph in the United States.
Trump is back in the White House after a landslide victory in the presidential election. In the eyes of his supporters, he is an invincible American hero, one who has survived every obstacle: the ‘rigged election’, the ‘judicial inquisition’, the hostility of the ‘establishment’ and even… bullets! The image of a miraculous Trump, his ear bleeding and his fist raised after a shot grazed him, will go down in history. But behind the admiration aroused by his reaction, this attack was above all the most spectacular expression of an election campaign that reached new heights of violence, hatred and irrationality. This extraordinary campaign, spewing out money and saturated with obscenities, just like its conclusion, the victory of a megalomaniac and stupid billionaire, reflects the abyss into which bourgeois society is sinking.

PS : It was not a landslide
You couldn’t get more blatant than this. The future trump regime put to the service of the billionaire parasite class
Both political parties are completely dominated, controlled and financed by the capitalist class, and now it is more obvious than in prior epochs, they can not hide it any longer, they can not cover up the propagated false illusion that it is a government by the peoples and the for the peoples, it is just the executive committee to manage the affairs of the whole bourgeois class, it is a government by the rich and for the rich, and it was going to be the same with the democrats, that is the reason why millions of Americans did not vote for any one of them, there was a large absenteeism
They are going to drill petroleum all over the USA ( including Indian lands ) and all over the world, it was one of the campaign promises, ( Drill Baby Drill ) and most of his followers approved that, and most of them believe that climate disaster is a Chinese hoax, and they want the USA to become a petroleum exporter, and self sufficient, it is going to be a disaster, and large hurricane and water cyclone are going to destroy many states, and fracking produce earthquakes and sink holes
During the political campaign they were saying that the Chinese capitalists were taking over many USA corporations and lands,( inciting bourgeois nationalism ) but now, they are saying that all kind of capitalists investment is welcomed, and probably the Russian oligarchs are going to invest in the USA, as long as it is money they do not care, including the financial investment of the drugs cartels who also are investing money in real estates, they want to make ‘America great again” with foreign investments, it is similar to the so called third world countries that are welcoming all kinds of foreign investment to push the economy and and exploit the working class
Anybody with half brain will understand that a member of the capitalist class is going to support all members of the capitalists class, he or she is not going to support the working class, a capitalist can not be a benefactor of the working peoples, that is totally illogical, as Warren Buffet said: There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning
I have seen particular situations where the population of a town or province have elected plumbers, carpenters and common peoples of their community to be senator, major, or a state minister, but in this government the net worth of all nominated officials is 344 billions dollars and none have qualifications to those government posts, they are paying political favors as it is done in the so called third world countries and the same country that they call shit holes countries.
It is like one article of the socialist standard says, it is economic isolation combined with economic intervention, it has been like since the foundation of the USA, and since the time of the Monroe Doctrine, the reality is that the USA is an empire in decline, and it is a de industrialized nation, and foreign capital is needed in order to boost the economy, what the Democratic Party has been preaching that the economy is doing extraordinarily is just a lie, it is just doing good for the capitalist class and poorly for the working class, if the economy is doing so good why more than 75 millions of poor Americans voted for Trump ? The concept of making America great agains applies also to foreign investments, they will also make America great again, but great for the rich class and it is not new either
One side of the capitalist class was campaigning for the so called middle class, for the educated sector of the American society, and the other sector of the capitalist class were better snake oil salesmen they were campaigning for the poor and the peoples from the rural areas who are the poorest ones and most of them are whites, and most poor peoples in the USA are whites.( Trump said I love the uneducated peoples ) Kamala Harris did not lose because she is a woman or black, a white man, or white woman would have lost the election too.
There is an article published in this forum that shows the fallacy of the so called middle versus the concept of the working class propagated in the USA, the middle class are the peoples holding a college degree, and the working class are the peoples who do not have a college degree, but both are wage slaves exploited by the bourgoise class, they are wage slaves without university degrees, and others are wage slaves with college degrees, the capitalist also need slaves with technical knowledges, most peoples graduated from universities are unemployed, or holding unsecured jobs, with schools debts, and many are living with their parents, they can not afford to pay rent or to buy a house,( Kamala Harris promised 25,000 dollars to buy a house ) and are paying their needs using credit cards, using the visa to pay the Mastercard or vice versa
As historian Howard Zinn said: The class struggle has been completely hidden in the USA

Donald Trump before getting on the bus is already admitting that he can not bring down the prices of groceries, and it was a campaign promises that he was going to bring down prices by the stroke of a pen.
He was only reading the label of the cereal boxes, but he was not reading the logic and the laws of the capitalist mode of production
The old saying is: You can not fight city hall, but in this case is that you can not fight capitalist market, the market system destroys all politicians promises.
Harris made exactly the same pie-crust promise to bring down the price of groceries. The only difference is that she’s not going to get a chance to fail to honour it (in fact she’ll probably never be heard of again).
Several presidents and dictators in Latin America promised rent and price control and the law was passed in the congress but it never took place, on the contrary, the situation got worse, even that the governments made agreement with the sellers, workers unions and producers, they broke all accords and prices became excessive high including the price of gasoline that was double Price control has never worked in the capitalist society,
The International Monetary Fund twisted the arms to several countries, and central banks were forced to abandon the measures because high austerity plan were imposed and countries had to generate more profits in order to pay the international loans.
Since the national currencies were completely devaluated in comparison to the dollars, and they had to have dollars dollars reserves ( visas ) the rate of inflation increased drastically and the prices of commodities went up and workers suffered the consequences
It look like Donald Trump is not going to get whatever he wants this time despite the fact Republicans are controlling both houses by a narrow majority
His demand along with his partner Elon Musk for lifting the debt ceiling was not included in the new short budget. Fighting between oligarchs
‘Concentration Camps’: Border Czar Says Trump to Detain Migrant Families
“Decent people all over the world will hate this country… and they should,” said one critic.
JESSICA CORBETT
Dec 26, 2024Adding to alarm over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration plans, his “border czar” toldThe Washington Post in an interview published Thursday that the administration plans to return to detaining migrant families with children.
Tom Homan, who served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first term, said that ICE “will look to hold parents with children in ‘soft-sided’ tent structures similar to those used by U.S. border officials to handle immigration surges,” the Post summarized. “The government will not hesitate to deport parents who are in the country illegally, even if they have young U.S.-born children, he added, leaving it to those families to decide whether to exit together or be split up.”
Trumpists are suffering an entertaining fracture over import of skilled foreign labor. (The market-libertarian magazine Reason calls the two groups the ‘nativists’ and the ‘dynamists’.)
Here some quotes from the press from ‘nativist’ Steve Bannon:
‘The H-1B program “[is] about taking American jobs and bringing over essentially what have become indentured servants at lower wages…the thing’s a SCAM by the Oligarchs in Silicon Valley,”
‘”H1B Visa Program Should be Zeroed-Out —Used to Constantly Drive Wages Down and Replace American Tech Workers —the Foreign Worker Replacements are Treated Like Indentured Servants…” Bannon posted Friday morning.’
‘“H-1B visas? That’s not what it’s about. It’s about taking American jobs and bringing over essentially what have become indentured servants at lower wages,” the former Trump adviser turned pundit said, referring to the visa program that allows immigrants in specialized fields to work in the United States temporarily.
“This thing’s a scam by the oligarchs in Silicon Valley to basically take jobs from American citizens, give them to what become indentured servants from foreign countries, and then pay ‘em less. Simple.’
As for the ‘dynamist’ side, see this Telegraph article titled ‘US culture breeds ‘laziness’ and ‘mediocrity’, says Vivek Ramaswamy as he backs migrant-hiring’: https://archive.ph/DgFB4
The same situation that the Democrats are describing about Donald Trump also took place during the election of Bill Clinton, he was elected for less than 49% of the voters . This is what the Historian Howard Zinn wrote about him :
https://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnclicri23.html
The discontent around the US voters is a very old situation that culminated with a big absenteeism in this last election, and probably the same trend will continue during the next presidential election
No wonders why they want to eliminate Howard Zinn books from public schools because he has debunked all the historical myth and pipe dreams about the history of the USA
