The American oligarchy is not only filled with joy and authoritarian pride, but also Trump’s more than 100 decrees — executive orders — aimed at reforming the structure of the federal government in Washington have had serious consequences in just a few weeks. While there is no exact figure, thousands of workers have been laid off and are protesting in the streets of the capital of the United States. The affected have abruptly received emails announcing the termination of their jobs due to restructuring.
The office for government improvement — DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) — led by Elon Musk, has carried out ruthless job cuts in offices, agencies, and institutions deemed unnecessary by extreme Republicans. They argue that the functions of minorities, social causes, and even foreign programs like USAID are not among the government’s responsibilities and should not be funded with taxpayer money.
On the other hand, Democrats, traditionally oriented towards social balance programs, health, education, and international aid, are humiliated and lack an effective opposition front against Trump’s controversial decisions. The president’s actions could have very negative economic consequences for the country, and the tariff threats have already generated uncertainty in the markets.
Officials who investigated Trump and testified against him are now being pursued, interrogated, and investigated. This adds to the campaign of persecution, censorship, and harassment that seems to be underway. The Trump machine not only eliminates gender diversity and tolerance but also threatens to cause financial chaos. The fall of the New York Stock Exchange and fears of a recession are indicative of an unstable economic situation.
As Trump continues to promote his slogan of "Making America Great Again," the markets and the economy in general fear the possible repercussions of his tariff measures. The disappearance of USAID is seen as a tragedy by many, but fear and uncertainty seem to keep critics silent. The current situation recalls times of political persecution in the country's history, and the president’s actions have drawn comparisons to totalitarian regimes.
