With President Trump's second term underway, questions arise about his preparedness and potential actions. Unlike his first term, where establishment figures often restrained his more extreme theories, this time he's surrounded by loyalists. However, the early days have not been smooth. A controversial attempt to pause $3 trillion in federal spending led to significant confusion and a shutdown of the Medicaid payment system, resulting in an abrupt withdrawal of the measure, indicating the challenges of this new administration approach.
In place of establishment Republican figures who slow-played and shut down the most unlawful ideas Trump had during his first term, this time he's surrounded by MAGA loyalists and true believers.
After a two-page Office of Management and Budget memo purporting to 'pause' $3 trillion in federal spending... triggered 36 hours of confusion, angry backlash, and a national shutdown of the Medicaid payment system, the Trump administration has abandoned the effort.
