We'll Soon Find Out How Much Permanent Damage Trump Can Do
Briefly

Donald Trump's proposed upheavals in America, such as mass deportations and layoffs, will be evaluated as he shifts focus from executive orders to legislative efforts in Congress. His greatest impact may come from passing lasting laws, unlike executive actions, which are easier to reverse. Social conservatives will have a chance to introduce new legislation on issues like same-sex marriage, while Trump is expected to continue attacking social safety nets without privatizing programs like Social Security or Medicare. The effectiveness and ambition of Trump's agenda will largely depend on the dynamics within Congress, especially given his party's narrow majority.
Trump's next opportunity lies in Congress, where he can push significant legislation—lasting laws that are harder to undo compared to executive orders.
While Trump's administration may take aim at social programs, it reflects a modern Republican approach rather than traditional populism focused on privatization.
