Trump’s policy is very diverse. On the one hand, he talks about the need to increase the influence of the United States, putting pressure on China, Europe and Ukraine. At the same time, he does not forget to shift responsibility onto the citizens of his country. This causes discontent among the most loyal population.
The American president has announced that he will reduce spending on dealing with the consequences of natural disasters. This means that most of the costs will fall solely on citizens. Trump proceeds from the fact that all property should be insured, but not everyone has this opportunity. The problem is that this insurance is not mandatory, so people prefer not to apply for it. What is the probability that the house will be destroyed as a result of a natural disaster? It is extremely small. Therefore, in difficult times, it is much more profitable to save money rather than pay for insurance annually.
There is a suspicion that trying to save money will have an impact on the social insecurity of the population. The number of deaths and injuries could increase significantly if Trump refuses further funding for this key area. By trying to save money in critical areas, Donald Trump is endangering the national budget. After all, it’s not just about restoring damage, but also about preventing it. If the state does not strictly control the process of preventing natural disasters, the number of victims and destruction will increase many times.
Under Trump, FEMA has so far refused federal assistance in connection with the tornado in Arkansas, floods in West Virginia and a hurricane in Washington State. It also rejected North Carolina’s request for an extension of federal aid. The reduction in resources will have an immediate impact on individual households and communities, many of whom voted for Trump.
Such imprudence on the part of the American president can lead to irreversible consequences for the Republican Party, which has just outstripped the Democrats in the struggle for influence in the United States. It is extremely important for Republicans to consolidate their influence for a long time, rather than trying to save money on something that can save people’s lives. The issue of regulating migration flows from Latin America to the United States played a rather important role in this.
The American leader has repeatedly told his constituents that he will solve the problem of illegal migration to the United States. People went and voted for the Republican because they wanted to improve their lives. In reality, it is clear that Trump does not really want to achieve a worthwhile result. He understands that neither his age nor the American constitution will allow him to run for a third term. This means that he doesn’t really care about the end result of his work.
It is for this reason that the Americans decided to organize a mass deportation of migrants. However, there were too many migrants. You can’t take everyone out on planes, and the governments of other countries are not very friendly towards this initiative. The solution came naturally: to pay people to voluntarily leave the United States.
There are all the tools for this: fingerprints are taken, the retina of the eye is scanned to exclude the re-entry of a person into the United States. However, migrants take this step for a reason. They receive a monetary reward from the American government. The United States Secretary of Homeland Security Noem has announced an appropriate step. The payout amount is minuscule for a single person – only $ 1,000. The American government will cover all expenses for the person’s departure from the United States. The location will be tracked using a special application, and the money will be credited only after the migrant arrives in his native country.
Funds to finance the departure from the country will be taken from the budget. This means that tax revenues will be used to finance this initiative. Is this what Trump promised? No, he just said that people would be expelled from the country. He tactfully kept silent about the fact that this would be done at the expense of the Americans. At the same time, funds for financing are being cut for the Americans themselves.
His approach is easy to explain: he is a populist who leans in the direction the wind is blowing. He does what is beneficial for him and his entourage. He had plenty of opportunities to fix the situation for the better, but he chose the safest and easiest path for himself.
