I have to admit, it's so easy to appear to be a great tactician when you have a willing partner on the other side, which the Dems always have.
Apparently Trump cannot decrease taxes without the increase to the debt ceiling. This means even when GOP have total control, they will have to bend to the Dems to increase the debt ceiling for Trump to be able to cut taxes because from the sources I heard from your Congressional Budget Office will rule that he cannot cut taxes because they don't have the money, the balance sheet doesn't add up.
This also goes for the mass deportation efforts which costs money.
After some research it is clear that once Trump takes office he is going to have to lay the hammer down and not agree to sign ANYTHING unless he is able to cut costs so that he can afford his other campaign promises. He has zero wiggle room. He is going to have to demand that his reps find "pay-fors" so that he can make it work.
Inflation is going to continue to increase. I don't even see many big differences between the first Bill and the final Bill, it's why the Dems voted for it unanonymously. IF Trump can cut massive fat, he might be able to decrease inflation. He's going to have to look at the Argentina model.
If I am Trump, I execute multiple E.Os on day one and then I meet with Musk, Vivek and Rand Paul and dissect what needs to happen to cut costs, get pay-fors so that Trump can operate to enact his campaign promises.
Trumps second term is going to be inconsequential if he doesn't get spending under control. You are going to have two years of some blind dancing by Fox News, but citizens will not experience savings in their lives, Dems will take back the House in two years and all the while they will be in defacto control anyways as they are going to be needed in order to increase your debt ceiling.
Maybe Trumps nominees can make a difference and/or DOGE can find massive savings that will be enacted, but his hands are going to be tied. The shutdown would have been the better outcome for the GOP IMO. How much of the money they just signed is going to be quietly shifted over to big law firms who will fight Trump at every turn?
The Dems outplayed the GOP which shouldn't surprise anyone. It isn't always known immediately, but after I do some research, it always becomes clear and it's the same outcome, the Dems outplay GOP once again. The loser is the American consumer and the possibility of avoiding U.S solvency.
