Donald Trump provides his threats. Giving the extended Elon Musk authorities, driving an electronic truck through the United States constitution, threatening allies in economic war, and blamed Dei for the worst folding crash in the country years, and there is an aid agency in America is just a sample of moves in the opening weekly. Trump burns the American bases book. If it continues to such, the Democrats will have no choice but to send a letter that he designed strongly.

The claim that the minority party in America is very drunk so that its action is not together it will be charitable. None of Trump's moves should be a surprise. He “floods the region” as he did in 2017. For years, he insisted that the American regime was corrupt. Now he puts a flame for her. Regardless of the markets, which still face a problem in the treatment that Trump means what he says, Democrats are satisfied.

Not being a parliamentarian, the United States lacks a leader opposing the battle. The closer approximation of the regime, Chuck Schumer, the leader of the minority in the Senate, follows the rules of the era that has been disappeared. Democrats could have prevented confirmation sessions for Trump's candidates – many of whom were laughing from the room in that era. One Republic, Tommy Tobreville of Alabama, froze all the military appointments of Jo Biden almost 2023. But Democrats are following the ordinary regime.

It is also invisible to the American public. Hours after the constitutional right, Trump issued an amnesty for a blanket for about 1500 people who were convicted of storming the Capitol Hill four years ago and diluted it to the 14 militant criminals. Eight days later, Democratic leaders held a press conference to condemn Trump's move. Pardon was from the green light of future attacks on American democracy – including those that Shomer could have argued that it was happening now. Democrats should have said this day itself.

It is not as if Schumer is being superior to colleagues. A few days after Trump's inauguration, Hakim Jeffrez, the democratic leader in the House of Representatives, published: “Presidents come and presidents go. Through everything. God is still on the throne.” This may be. But the combat does not have a busy record in stopping the revolutions.

Do not look at the National Democratic Committee either. Last week, DNC was elected a new chair, Ken Martin, a Minnesota party official. But the parts were observed because of the outgoing president's call, Jaime Harrison, that they keep a place for non -bilateral Democrats in his seven -member committee. The delegates also admitted that America is based on the land of the indigenous people. Words like “Quartet Series” and “Titanic” come to mind.

If all things are still equal, the Shomer approach may seem reasonable. His point of view is that the Democrats should separate the indication of noise. An example of this will be to fight teeth and nails to prevent Trump from occupying the Panama Canal area, but ignoring the rename of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Shomer recently predicted that “Trump will spoil.” Then the Republicans lose the mid -period elections 2026 and Trump, then it becomes a lame duck.

Shomer's Playbook is the middle of the 2006 Democratic period, just two years after the George W. Bush was re -elected. Barack Obama's presidential launch came three months later. Hope is that Democrats can recover now. But Trump is not Bush Junior. It is not even Trump 1.0. They always say choosing your battles. However, the Democrats seem to ignore that they are in full war. Assuming that they will fight the upcoming elections at the stadium level, Iman's work. Trump was in office for two weeks. There are 21 months until mid -time.

So, what should Democrats do? Many people argue that their best path is to appear on the alarm when he deserves and hopes that, in addition to Trump's inefficiency, he will be restricted by court rulings and market corrections. Here is another point of view. Congress has been marginalized. The only person that the Senate authorities should rule is musk. Giga-Tycoon dominated the country's federal payments and personal data. It has no legal basis to do so.

Where in the constitution, he says that the richest man is not elected in America defines the programs that live or die, and who must be rented and shooting, and what contracts should be canceled? She will ask opposition on alert: “Who elected Elon Musk?” It appears to be the will not to make a crowd cry. When life gives you an evil bond, make lemon juice.
