One thing after another has failed, Trump holds absolute advantage, but why are none of his strategies effective.
After taking office, Trump was full of ambition and attempted to revitalize the United States while shouting the slogan of making America great again. Trump indeed has the conditions to accomplish big things, which can be seen from several aspects. First, all members of the government are absolute loyalists, ensuring Trump's absolute control over the government. Second, the Republican Party controls both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as the Supreme Court. Even if the Democratic Party wants to block him, they have lost their capital for obstruction.
Trump was full of confidence, but reality kept slapping him in the face. First, Trump carried out a large-scale downsizing within the government to boost efficiency. Although this matter initially caused a stir, it ended up with an unsatisfactory result. Despite dismissing many people, the overall efficiency of the government did not improve significantly, and even many normal operations could not be carried out normally. Secondly, Trump intended to reorganize the military, but apart from targeting a few key leaders, he could not shake the core interests of the military, and this endeavor also ended in failure.
Third, Trump imposed taxes on the entire world, but ultimately it ended with Trump's compromise. Fourth, Trump tried to crack down on illegal immigrants, although some achievements were made, there is still a significant gap compared to his set goals. It can be said that after taking office, Trump acted crazily, appearing very wild, but in the end, he did not accomplish a single thing. Why do his every strategy fail to achieve its expected goal? In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the United States has lost its former unity, and now lacks the strength to support its hegemony.
