According to media reports, Donald Trump’s administration has been preparing a plan for several months to govern the country bypassing Congress. This would happen if the Democrats win control of both chambers in the elections. They are examining which decisions Trump can make legally, where he might overstep his authority, and how to defend those decisions in court.

This was discussed on 24 Channel with Andriy Gorodnytskyi, a Ph.D. and political expert. High-ranking officials, in collaboration with the White House legal counsel, are reviewing decisions in the areas of immigration, tariffs, and federal spending that Trump could enact without congressional approval. In fact, Trump is trying to learn from past mistakes, when his unilateral decisions were overturned by the courts.

"Tariff wars" were overturned by the courts

As Gorodnytskyi emphasized, Trump is now focused on ensuring that his future decisions are entirely lawful.

Trump is trying to find the most legally sound methods to continue his activities. We’ve seen major tariff wars where many decisions were overturned by the courts due to their illegality. Now he is trying to ensure his actions remain within legal bounds so as to avoid obstacles from Congress– Gorodnytskyi noted.

We cannot rule out the possibility that Republicans will refuse to recognize the results of the midterm elections, and that radical MAGA groups will call for protests. At the same time, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies are fully prepared for such challenges.

Is Trump ready to go that far? Knowing him, it’s entirely plausible. But will this lead to a coup? Hardly. The intelligence agencies and the military are preparing for this, and Trump’s level of public support is no longer what it used to be– noted Gorodnytskyi.

Overall, the key battle in the upcoming election will center on a few decisive Senate seats and specific congressional districts. Analysts have previously noted that Trump may face problems should the Democrats triumph in the election.
