Afrasianet - Whatever the actual reasons behind the resignation of the U.S. Secretary of Labor, and whether it is closer to dismissal than voluntary departure from office, the indisputable fact indicates that she is the third to come out of President Donald Trump's government team, after the dismissal of the Secretary of Homeland Security and then the Secretary of Justice.
It is true in terms of the form and circumstances announced that the three cases are not directly related to the current U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, or to its internal repercussions on the daily life of the U.S. citizen In matters of energy and fuel prices, for example.
But the parallel is that the dismissals or resignations are closely related to Trump's domestic policies, the effects of his personal scandals, and his administrative and spending measures with federal consequences on the one hand.
It is no longer new for Trump to contradict the statements of senior officials whom he himself chose because of their loyalty to him, as he did recently when he considered the energy secretary "completely wrong" because the latter estimated that current fuel prices might not return to their pre-war levels on Iran, or when criticism of his policies began to come from media professionals, journalists, and politicians whose loyalties were.
This is in addition to his declining popularity, not only in the black of the American public, but also in the heart of his electoral incubator and his supporters on the diversity of their backgrounds between MAGA organizations, white supremacy, populist, right-wing and racist currents.
In a new NBC poll, Trump's popularity dropped to its lowest level during his second term, not exceeding 37%, compared to 63% of opponents, and in terms of his handling of the war against Iran, only 33% supported him compared to 67% who disapproved It is the inflating of ego, narcissism, and trampling on the laws and regulations in force, as he has repeatedly hinted at the possibility of modifying the prevailing custom and running for a third term.
Trump will not be interested in these elections out of siding with the Republican Party, as this has become one of his last concerns, but because tightening his grip on Congress avoids future surprises and reopens the files of his scandals, which are already many or will multiply.
