'Dark and challenging times': Here's a glossary for 'Trump's return to power'

Donald Trump's second term as president is less than a month away, with the president-elect scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025. And when he is sworn in, Republicans will have small majorities in both branches of Congress.

The article from MSN provides a glossary of terms related to Donald Trump's potential return to power, highlighting the political and legal landscape surrounding his influence. It discusses terms like "Project 2025," a policy initiative by the Heritage Foundation aimed at reshaping the federal government to align with conservative values; "Schedule F," a Trump-era executive order that would reclassify many federal employees to make them easier to fire; and "Deep State," referring to the alleged entrenched bureaucracy that Trump and his allies claim works against his agenda. Other terms include "Election Integrity," focusing on Trump's claims of voter fraud; "Insurrection Act," which could allow Trump to deploy military forces domestically; and "Pardon Power," discussing Trump's potential to issue pardons for allies or himself. The glossary also touches on "Retribution," indicating Trump's desire to punish political enemies, and "Voter Suppression," which critics argue could be a strategy to limit voting access. This glossary serves as a guide to understanding the rhetoric and strategies associated with Trump's possible second term.
