Trump is preparing to rule the United States by bypassing Congress. Reuters The US presidential administration has been developing a plan since April that would allow him to continue implementing his policies without congressional approval. To that end, Trump can more actively use presidential orders and interpret his powers more broadly. Possible steps include introducing new tariffs, tightening visa rules and strengthening the White House's control over budget funds.
