President Trump Unveils 18-Page Agenda; The Rise of "Trumpism" Divides Republican Party
President Trump has outlined his agenda in an 18-page document, a stark contrast from the 82-page program of his first term. The manifesto, crystal clear to those aligned with him, is not merely a shift in policies but a birth of a new ideology – "Trumpism," according to international analyst Dimitri Guerkov in an interview with BTV’s "FAKTS" studio.
"Trumpism" is a product of the collective efforts of those behind the president. Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, is often credited with orchestrating his rise. After leaving the White House, Bannon launched ‘The Movement,’ an international network dedicated to exporting Trump’s policies worldwide. Bannon, a former ‘Goldman Sachs’ banker and Hollywood producer, has over 18 films to his credit, symbolizing his immense influence.
Guerkov elaborated, "Bannon’s goal is simple: to break America free from the neoliberal course set by the Democrats and create an impenetrable barrier to prevent its return."
The Republican Party, traditionally known for its factional diversity, is grappling with this new ideology. During Trump’s first term, his support among ‘neoconservatives’ was strong. These former Democrats, now largely represented by the Bush-era figures, initially aligned with Trump due to his foreign policy stances. However, as "Trumpism" continues to reshape the party, internal fractures are ensconcing.
