00:00Donald Trump is back with a Republican trifecta—full control over the government—but will that
00:05really give him the power he's after?
00:07Let's break it down.
00:09A governing trifecta means Trump's Republican Party now controls both the House and Senate
00:14along with the presidency.
00:15It sounds like a recipe for big moves, but history tells us that it's rarely smooth
00:20sailing.
00:21Trump's first term taught him that even with a majority, his agenda wasn't always
00:26an easy pass.
00:27After his plan to repeal Obamacare—blocked by one of his own party members—and Biden,
00:33with a Democratic trifecta, also faced major resistance from within his party having to
00:38scale back on his signature Build Back Better plan.
00:42So what's different this time?
00:43Trump's power in the courts.
00:46With three conservative Supreme Court justices appointed during his first term, Trump has
00:50secured a judicial advantage that might back up his plans.
00:54He's eyeing massive initiatives, like tough immigration policies and cuts to environmental
00:59protections, but he'll need to move fast.
01:02Because these trifectas don't last long.
01:07Will Trump finally get his way, or will history repeat itself?
