The series of protests against Donald Trump’s policies in the United States reflects popular exasperation, according to an American politics specialist.

“There is a weariness, a weariness of Trumpism, of the establishment of this authoritarian regime that does not officially bear its name yet, but is increasingly resembling it,” said Romuald Sciora, director of the Political and Geostrategic Observatory of the United States at the Institute of International and Strategic Relations (IRIS), on LCN, on Saturday.
Mr. Sciora specifies that the “No Kings” movement stems from discontent with the Trump administration’s decisions, especially those concerning military intervention in the Middle East, the actions of the American immigration police (ICE), and the deployment of the National Guard.
“Don’t forget that Trump was elected promising that he would be the president [and] that he would not lead the country into one of those wars like Iran or [Afghanistan]. And today, American deaths continue to accumulate,” he said.
The American politics expert believes that the Republican Party will inevitably lose the United States House of Representatives in November.
“With this war in Iran continuing, with ICE which today is going to be present in airports, there is a good chance that there will be a true rejection from the American people and that we will witness in November a hemorrhage [from] the Republican side in the House of Representatives,” explained Mr. Sciora on LCN.
Pressures on the American president
Romuald Sciora believes that Donald Trump is beginning to feel pressure from both the population and his inner circle.
“Don’t forget that people like J.D. Vance or Susie Wiles, the White House secretary, are opposed to this war in Iran and are really pushing to stop the conflict as soon as possible,” mentioned the director of the Political and Geostrategic Observatory of the United States at IRIS.
Mr. Sciora also indicates that the American president is facing pressure from the United States Congress to end the budget paralysis affecting airports.
“It’s starting to drag on. This, added to the other complaints from Americans, is one more today that adds to this small pile of stones against Donald Trump,” he stated.
