D. Trump's policy in the light of the first presidential decrees: realities and prospects of the USA political course

The purpose of the article is to study the course of Donald Trump's policy through the prism of the decrees and orders he adopted immediately after the inauguration. The study suggests the realism and durability of the new political course proposed by D. Trump in both domestic and foreign policy of the United States. When writing the article, the key methodological approach was the institutional approach that has proven itself in political and other socio-humanitarian sciences as the most formalized in obtaining sound results, with the help of which D. Trump's first presidential decrees were analyzed, the procedure for their implementation in practice in cooperation with other key power actors such as Congress and the judiciary. Additionally, content and event analysis were used, on the basis of which the texts of the first decrees were studied and compared. Trump and his public appearances, reports and articles about his first steps as head of state in the Russian and foreign media. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the structuring, generalization and analysis of D. Trump's domestic and foreign state policy through his decrees and orders, the interaction of the head of state with other political institutions of the American political system. The practical significance lies in forecasting for the next four years the ongoing Trump's political course is based on his decrees and orders that have already been adopted or challenged and rejected in the courts of individual states. The study concluded that Trump will continue the policy of countering illegal migration that he initiated during his first term, tighten measures aimed at countering drug cartels and states that pose a threat to the United States, which will be recognized as "accomplices in the spread of terrorism," and intensify the struggle for the spread of economic and other influence on other countries between USA and China, He will make attempts to strengthen the power vertical through reforming the activities of the presidential administration and the federal civil service system. However, most of the decrees and other presidential orders will be challenged in the courts of those states in which representatives of the Democratic Party predominate, which will serve as a serious obstacle to their implementation in practice (as it was in the first term of his presidency), and four years later, that is, after the next election of the American president, if the candidate from the Democratic Party or a more moderate Republican wins, the repeal of the decrees previously adopted by him may follow, as already happened after Biden's victory in the 2020 elections.
