The election has exposed divisions within both parties. Trump has acknowledged that his immigration crackdown may have gone too far, while appointing its architect, Stephen Miller, to lead his White House. Vice President JD Vance has blamed the Republican defeat on the war with Iran, putting him at odds with the president.
Meanwhile, Democrats are divided over what their victory means. Progressives and moderates are competing to define the party's future, while questions grow about the leadership of Chuck Schumer and the direction of the new Congress. On DW News' The Day, we speak to Bruce Stokes, visiting senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and a long-time analyst of American public opinion.
We examine whether Trump is losing his grip on the Republican Party, whether Democrats can translate electoral success into meaningful change, and what the political upheaval means for US relations with Europe.
According to this gentleman being interviewed, there are people in America and even in the Republican Party that Trump will never forgive, even on his deathbed!
Well, I have news for Mr Trump! And it is this: There are many people who will never forgive Trump, his chumps, the MAGA movement, or the Americans who put this corrupt, incompetent narcissist in power to screw everything up, not only for America, but for the West as a whole and the rest of the world! Because of Trump et al, America, the West, and much of the rest of the world have been fouled up, maybe forever. Certainly, it is going to take many a decade to repair the untold damage Trump and his MAGA clowns have inflicted on us all. – © Mark Alexander
