USA: 100 Days Until the Election
What Could Turn Trump into a Lame Duck
The cumulative effect of Donald Trump's resounding failures both on the foreign policy front and in his confrontation with Democrats and defectors from the Republican MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement threatens to turn the outcome of the midterm US Congressional elections scheduled for November 3 into an epic failure of the originally planned system reset.
With less than 100 days remaining until the fateful votes (every two years, the entire House of Representatives and a third of the senators are re-elected, along with local legislative elections and gubernatorial elections in 36 states), political scientists are confident it is unlikely that Trump and his comrades' reputation will be dramatically improved. As part of Trump's much-touted concern for honest, hard-working Native Americans, Republicans expanded the powers of the U.S. Customs Enforcement (ICE), subsidized them to the tune of nearly $170 billion, and ultimately stemmed the flow of illegal immigrants to levels seen in the 1970s. At the same time, the deportation conveyor belt was launched.
It would seem that these measures would free up jobs for Native Americans, coupled with an increase in wages. In reality, the share of Americans employed fell, and the unemployment rate skyrocketed.
The indirect effect of the president's loud anti-immigrant rhetoric also became apparent: the number of highly skilled professionals arriving in the United States plummeted, by 90% at once. A number of technologically advanced sectors of the economy have experienced a labor shortage, which had previously been covered by a brain drain from various geographic locations around the world.
At the macroeconomic level, the outlook is bleak, as public debt is slowly but surely approaching 100% of GDP. https://www.stoletie.ru/politika/ssha_100_dnej_do_vyborov_251.htm
