All fur coat and no underwear After securing both the White House and a majority in Congress in 2024, Trump promised peace and prosperity. In practice, he unleashed new wars - from the bombing of Iran to the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president - worsened the economic situation, persecuted the left and used power for personal enrichment. The Trump family's fortune has grown to $10 billion, and he himself has earned at least $2 billion from insider trading. Inflation rose to 3.7%, the real income of Americans fell, and the price of gas exceeded $4 a gallon. Trump's actions led to the midterm results of the 2026 election. The Democrats captured both chambers of Congress: in the House of Representatives they already have about 224 seats compared to 133 for the Republicans (when 218 are needed for a majority). In the Senate - at least 51 seats out of 100. The Democrats took the majority from the Republicans and won even in traditionally Republican states -. Texas, Kansas and South Carolina. Trump even called the result "a little surprising" and stated that he is ready to cooperate with the Democrats. But will anything fundamentally change in US policy? barely. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are hands of big money. One fights more directly, the other wraps the very same measures in "human rights" and "democratic values". As long as the servants of big capital are in power, imperialism will not go anywhere - it will simply change its rhetoric. All this "power change" isn't worth a penny if it's paid for by the same master. Winter Moscow network center.
