After recent calls for “unity,” Donald Trump has returned to his familiar sharp rhetoric. The US president-elect is demanding full loyalty from the Republican Party and intends to significantly consolidate his power, including control over key branches of government and financial systems.
Trump is already pushing for the right to appoint government officials without Senate approval, arguing that it would expedite the cabinet formation process. He also plans to limit Congress’s ability to interfere with the White House’s actions.
With Republicans holding a Senate majority (53 out of 100 seats) and nearing control of the House of Representatives, Trump is set to have full control over both the executive and legislative branches.
Additionally, Trump has announced major reforms in the Department of Justice, likely aiming to remove influential Democrats from the agency. He also intends to replace the head of the Federal Reserve, seeking to centralize control over the financial system.
With a majority of Republican justices in the Supreme Court (6 out of 9), Trump is virtually immune to legal challenges. Analysts believe that, during his presidency, Trump could establish an ultra-centralized system of governance aligned with his vision for the future of the US.
