"Fire All Disloyal Public Officials"... US Concerned Over Poll Results Suggesting Presidential Power Expansion

Biden Leads by 2-4%p in Poll
Expectations of Deportation of Illegal Immigrants During Administration

Tensions are rising as analyses suggest that former President Donald Trump, a leading Republican presidential candidate in the United States, might win the election next November.

On the 17th (local time), CNN projected that Trump, who is dominating the Republican presidential race, would defeat the Democratic front-runner, President Biden, in the upcoming election and begin a second term in office.

CNN predicted that immediately after inauguration, former President Trump would issue unprecedented executive orders to strengthen his control over the White House. For example, he is expected to intensify crackdowns on illegal immigrants at the southern U.S. border for immediate deportation, dismiss federal employees disloyal to the Trump administration, reinforce protectionism, and take retaliatory measures against the Biden administration.

Additionally, CNN reported that Trump might use judicial authorities to investigate political opponents, including President Biden. Previously, Trump stated he would "fire Marxist prosecutors destroying America," targeting the Department of Justice.

Moreover, CNN highlighted Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, noting that a uniform 10% tariff could be imposed on imported foreign goods.

On the 18th, former President Trump met supporters in Iowa and declared that if he wins next year’s election, he would immediately scrap the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) trade agreement, which he criticized as harming workers’ rights under the Biden administration. He condemned IPEF as a second version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a multilateral free trade agreement that the Trump administration previously withdrew from.

Meanwhile, recent polls conducted by CBS News, CNN, Fox News, Market Law School, and Quinnipiac University show Trump leading President Biden by 2 to 4 percentage points. This differs from the past 80 years, where the incumbent president typically led other candidates by an average of 10 percentage points one year before the election. CNN analyzed that President Biden is struggling early in the race due to his advanced age and economic issues.
