  • Donald Trump is getting ready to battle Congress as he returns to the White House. But Washington has a way of pushing back against presidents. New York Times reporter Carl Hulse discusses the prospects of "governing by crisis.

The article from MSN discusses the potential clash between former President Donald Trump's agenda and the current dynamics of Congress as he campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. Trump has outlined plans to enact significant policy changes if re-elected, including immigration reform, tax cuts, and deregulation. However, his agenda faces several hurdles: a divided Congress with a slim Republican majority in the House and a Democratic Senate, which could complicate the passage of his legislative priorities. Additionally, Trump's influence within the GOP has waned somewhat, with some party members showing reluctance to fully align with his past policies or his style of governance. Key issues like border security, economic policy, and foreign relations are highlighted as areas where Trump's proposals might meet resistance or require negotiation. The article also notes the potential for Trump to use executive actions to bypass Congress, a strategy he employed during his presidency, which could lead to legal challenges and further political division.
