Donald Trump and his GOP allies have unveiled their ambitious agenda—massive tax cuts, border security, and raising the debt limit—hoping to ram it through in the first 100 days of his presidency, despite having one of the slimmest House majorities in history. It’s like trying to build an empire on the sands of the desert. The reconciliation process they aim to use is akin to a tightrope walk without a safety net, with strict budget rules and an annual limit. Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ seems more like a hodgepodge, and their slim majority in both chambers is like trying to hold a house of cards together.
