US President Donald Trump has hailed tax abolition and surveillance as a significant achievement in his first four-year term. He repealed the Obama-era health care law but has yet to bring anything new to the place. He has spent most of this year speaking out in support of the administration's move to tackle Corona and openly engaging in disputes with scientists and medical experts on a variety of issues, including vaccines and medicine.
There has been no sign of a major policy change if Trump is re-elected. As incumbent president, Trump has yet to present a second-term vision. Only in interviews, debates and speeches have various promises appeared for his second term. But critics have no doubt that four more years of Trump's presidency will widen the gap between rich and poor, justice and racism, truth and falsehood. They also fear that if Trump is elected, political polarization could reach dangerous levels in the next four years.
"Trump didn't have unity in his first four years," Bill Gatson, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, told a panel discussion hosted by the Brookings Institution. Reached the peak of the conflict. I don't think Trump can give up this strategy easily. It could be even higher in the second term than in Trump's first."
Former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leo Panetta said, "What Trump has done to address the Corona epidemic is that he will not admit failure under any circumstances. He is not willing to take necessary steps to deal with it under any circumstances. Under no circumstances is he willing to listen to advisers and more experienced ones. That's why if Trump is elected, the question of where the country will go in the next four years raises a deeper crisis."
What could be Trump's second term Economy, taxes and debt Before the epidemic, low unemployment and rising stock markets were Trump's trump cards. Within weeks of the onset of the Corona crisis, the stock market plummeted to 7.9 percent. The epidemic has lost about 10 million jobs. Which is more than the Great Depression of 2008-09.
Trump predicted that the US economy would turn around by the end of 2020, and by 2021 it would be rocket-propelled. He promised that corona vaccine would be available or effective drugs would be available. This will make life normal. In the summer, he wanted to pass a proposal to cut salaries, but it was thwarted by all-party opposition. However, Trump will want to pass it again if he is elected in the second term and gets the mandate of the voters.
An analysis by a committee of responsible federal budgets suggests that Trump's plan could lead to 5 trillion in debt over the next 10 years. The country now has a deficit of 13 trillion and a national debt of 20 trillion.
Coronavirus epidemic
Trump has been urging the United States and Democratic governors to expedite the lifting of the Corona ban in the run-up to the coronavirus epidemic. But Trump's optimistic stance is not going well with the realities of many states. The virus is on the rise, especially in states with 270 electoral college votes important to his second term as president.
The U.S. president often failed to agree with the medical experts in his own administration. The top infectious diseases in particular on the important issue centered on the virus. Antonio Foucault was not left out of Trump's wrath. The Republican president could not agree with the advice of experts on social distance and wearing masks to prevent the spread of the virus when receiving the vaccine.
Trump has been saying that he is absolutely sure that the coronary vaccine and treatment are not too far away. However, scientists are much more careful in this case. Trump has signed into law the 2 trillion coronavirus financial incentives passed in Congress. But the two sides could not agree on a further cooperation package.
