Trump's counter-revolutions are already changing the face of the US

With hindsight, the mist will clear. There will be less floundering to describe the lightning seizure of power by the Trump team since January 20. It has nothing to do with a traditional changeover. The candidate had clearly stated his radical plans.

Yet a stupor seems to have taken hold of American lawmakers – from bewildered Democrats to cowardly or conquered Republicans – as well as the mainstream media and the progressive part of civil society. The multitude of fronts open simultaneously makes it hard to see the big picture. All the more so as the Trumpist movement, which prides itself on promoting transparency and absolute freedom of speech, is advancing in premeditated opacity to redefine the perimeter and nature of the federal state.

Donald Trump and his team are breaking down doors whose locks and fastenings suddenly look extremely fragile. "In 17 days, we've accomplished what some people haven't accomplished in eight years," laughed the president on Thursday, February 6. He and his team believe they have 18 months to change the face of America. Without compromise, without weakness. Then it's time for the mid-term elections.
