The Landscape of Trump's Return

Donald Trump's return to the presidency is marked by a starkly different political landscape than his first term. He faces narrower majorities in Congress, making legislative action more challenging, which may rely heavily on executive orders rather than traditional legislation. His victory this time was not as surprising or uncontested as before, as many anticipated a competitive race, given the Democrats' lack of unity and effectiveness in governance. This shift indicates a heightened awareness among political observers and citizens regarding Trump's capacity to impact policy while navigating a more polarized environment.
