House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said a second
Trump Administration will be like the first, but “on turbo” mode. The House Speaker stressed that he supports
President Trump due to his policies. “What we accomplished in those first two years of his Presidency is amazing.” During that time, he said, the
United States had the “greatest
economy in the history of the world.” A second Trump term may prioritize cutting taxes, increasing Chinese
tariffs, taking real action against illegal
immigration, and removing blocks on
Oil and gas drilling activities, he said. In addition, a “major theme” of the new administration would be to strip government agencies of their regulatory power. By doing so, the
Republican administration will be “restoring the constitutional authority of
Congress as a co-equal third branch.” “The race is set. Now it will be a rematch, and we like that rematch,” Mr. Johnson told reporters earlier this month. During his first term, President Trump faced “resistance” and “headwinds” as he tried to figure out why some of the federal agencies were not implementing his agenda, and in some cases even acting against it, Mr. Johnson stated. With the benefit of this experience, President Trump now has “big plans” to overcome some of the leadership challenges he faced last time, with congressional
Republicans poised to play a “big part” in these plans. He criticized the Biden administration for the ongoing border crisis and vowed to “finish the wall” at the southern border he started during his first term that was halted by his successor. “We have the worst border in history,” President Trump said. President Trump is planning to crack down hard on crime, and even hinted at possibly involving the military. Back in September, he told a rally in
California, “Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store.” The former president wants to eliminate the Department of Education, transferring the authority from the federal government to the states. President Biden and President Trump officially secured their party nominations for the 2024 presidential race last week. “We now have to go into victory because our country is in serious trouble,“ he said. ”We have millions and millions of people flowing in. We have no respect on the world stage. What we say doesn’t mean a thing anymore. And to have that happen is unthinkable. We have an economy that, outside of certain little areas, is doing very poorly … We have United States
MILITARY that has to be taken care of.” “We have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of our country. His name is
Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as crooked Joe Biden, and he must be defeated. Our nation is failing. We’re a nation that is in serious decline. We’ve never had a situation like this.”
