Trump's America: is the worst yet to come?
The Mercury
|September 16, 2025
He could introduce more extreme policies in the next three years
IT IS not arguable that Trump is the most unpredictable president in America’s history. His Policies are very harmful not only to the world but also to America, and the worst is yet to come; he has shown us only the pattern and some examples of what he can do.
Trump could introduce more extreme policies during the coming three years of his presidency, because he is not running for a new term, so like all dictators, he is not in need to moderate his aggressive policies and actions. He has learnt from his first term at the White House to avoid appointing to his administration any professionals who can say no to him when he is doing unreasonable things. Rather, he appointed only amateurs and those who are blindly loyal to him and only said Yes, Sir. This kind of removing the internal checks and balances on the President's power is not good for any country.
Internally, the current political and economic environment, as created by Trump, is concerning to most Americans, which is why his popularity is going down even among Republicans. A few days ago, we saw a huge march in Washington, DC, against the deployment of the National Guard troops to fight crime in DC, as Trump keeps claiming. We expect to see a similar March in Chicago or LA, where he did the same thing just to provoke the Democratic officials in these cities. On the other hand,Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has started to impact negatively on the American economy as expected by many economists.
