Although he returned from a great victory in last year's election and had great power, Trump's second term was not as smooth as he thought, and bad news came from the United States one after another.
The first bad news, Los Angeles' "rise" has formed a demonstration effect across the United States, and the wave of opposing Trump's immigration policy is getting higher and higher.
According to Observer Network, Trump's policy of tough crackdown on illegal immigration is ushering in a strong backlash among the people of the United States. After Trump issued instructions, federal law enforcement agencies went directly to search American immigrants everywhere in broad daylight and arrested a large number of illegal immigrants. Such an approach may still be supported in red states and will not encounter any obstacles, but in blue states, the investigation is not illegal immigration, but the basic foundation of the Democratic Party, so the donkey party will naturally not let it go.
On June 6, local time, Los Angeles, known as the "sanctuary city", was searched by the US Federal Immigration Enforcement Bureau (ICE). In the afternoon of the same day, a large number of protesters began to take to the streets, surrounding a federal agency building, and fierce clashes broke out with the police. Since the Democrats have a completely opposite position to Trump in terms of immigration policy, many analysts believe that behind these protests is closely related to the Democrats.
When he saw that his policy of combating illegal immigration was blocked, Trump was furious and not only called the local protests in Los Angeles a "rebellion", but also sent more than 2,000 National Guards to try to forcibly extinguish the opposition. However, after pressing the gourd and then rising, the situation in Los Angeles was finally under control, and similar protests broke out in cities such as New York, where the Democratic Party dominated. It is predictable that this wave of opposing Trump's immigration policy will spread to many places in the United States, which will test Trump's skills. If it is not handled properly, the Democratic Party will continue to create similar incidents.
The second bad news is the breakup between Trump and Musk. In early June, Trump's former funder and loyal supporter Musk bombarded Trump on social platforms due to dissatisfaction with the "big and American" spending bill. It would be fine if it was just because of political disagreements, but Musk was outspoken. Not only did he expose Trump's "Epstein's list", but he also told him that he would fund whoever he could block the "Big and American" spending bill in the Senate.
The "Big and American" spending bill is a bill that Trump has promoted after taking office. Musk now not only wants to attack Trump's character, but also block Trump's core policy propositions, which obviously has touched his bottom line. The two sides then started to argue with each other on social platforms.
But for Trump, even if he is unhappy, he can only keep his restraint. On the one hand, no one knows how much Trump's black material Musk has. If all of them are revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if it is a fabricated rumor, with his close relationship with Trump in the past, I am afraid that even if Trump denied the rumors, the outside world may not believe it.
On the other hand, this is a "family scandal" for Trump. The two of them will definitely suffer a loss when they fight, and the winner will only be the Democratic Party. Therefore, Trump, who has always refused to suffer losses, performed extremely restrainedly this time. On the evening of June 6th local time, Trump said on Air Force One that he has been busy dealing with relations with China and is not thinking about Musk, but wishing him all the best. The friendship between the two ended here, and they had no intention of talking and reconciling.
Although the outside world believes that this is Trump's attempt to find a way for himself and downplaying the impact of Musk. But frankly speaking, what Trump said is also the truth. Whether it is breaking with Musk or protests against his immigration policies in many places in the United States, they are all struggles within the United States and within the Republican Party, which are destined to be inevitable, and these things cannot endanger Trump's ruling status in the United States.
But if China-US relations cannot be handled well, the impact on the entire US economy and social order will be unbearable to Trump. So Trump said that his mind was full of thoughts on dealing with Sino-US relations, not only downplaying the impact of the Musk incident, but also saying the truth.
