Trump, the Gema 2025 project, uses a ‘flood zone’ strategy to encourage the agenda: experts

In the campaign path, and in weeks before the return to the White House, President Donald Trump vowed to operate – what experts were described as a strategy of “flooding the zone” to encourage future on conservative and controversial policies.

That step means the first 100 days that often never happened before in the office: “Trump’s speed,” the White House called it.

Earlier this month, he told members of the Republican Parliament at the Party Dinner: “We are taking notes now. We get more things that are approved than the President have done in the first 100 days. This is not even close. I have someone who said the most successful month – the first month in history. Now they say 100 most successful days in our country’s history.”

How he did it, legal experts told ABC News, would have a long -term impact on the presidency and the federal government.

The main strategy is to sign the executive command almost every day, including those who challenge the strength of the congress to fund and oversee the federal institutions and programs, while others endlessly test the limits of immigration enforcement.

Another president on both sides of the hall has tried to flex their executive muscles, such as EO President Joe Biden to request 50% of light cars and trucks sold as zero-emission electric vehicles in 2030, according to Tabitha Bonilla, Assistant Research at the Institute for Policy Research at West Network University.

“Every president over the past few decades has tried to add more strength to the executive branch and continue their agenda,” Bonilla told ABC News. “Trump took it extreme.”

For example, experts quoted Trump using legal and financial threats to punish universities and legal firms because of alleged political opposition and failure to “harmonize” with their agenda, as well as wholesale dismissal of top career officials, replacing them with loyalists.

James Sample, a constitutional law expert at Hofstra University, said that the Trump manual appears to be directly from the 2025 project, a blueprint to “take control of the federal government” prepared for years by the most conservative Trump allies to anticipate its return – although Trump claimed to have never read it.

Trump and his supporters said his actions were justified because of the bureaucrats and judges who were not elected, they claimed, had taken control from the president – the only person was elected nationally, they argued, and gave total executive strength by the constitution.

Apart from that, the sample said, tactics must raise the red flag.

“The purpose of Blitzkrieg is to flood the opposition,” he said.

While Trump’s tactics have met a little or without protest from members of the Republican Parliament who control the DPR and Senate, the Judicial Branch is often ready to stem floods through decisions and orders in dozens of court cases.

However, experts told ABC News, that even if all Trump’s movements were blocked or even reversed, they had done serious short -term and long -term damage.

“It’s all about instilling narration,” Bonilla said. “Trump’s policies and rhetoric have pushed everything to the right and injured our strength on a global scale.”

The floodgates are opened

Since Trump served on January 20, he has issued more than 140 executive orders about various policies on Monday, destroying records and increasing the interpretation of federal law and constitution.

President Joe Biden, as a comparison, issued 162 EOS in all of his term of office, and Trump issued more than 30 executive orders during the first 100 days of his first term of office, according to historical records.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told Fox News in March that in this second term, the Trump Team knew it needed to act quickly, quoting the medium -term election in November 2026 which could change the map of the congress.

“18 months this is our time frame. One hundred days, of course six months to year, and 18 months, is a kind of benchmark,” he said.

The “flood zone” goal has long been praised by the allies Trump.

Former Political Advisor of his White House Steve Bannon appeared to create ideas during Trump’s first term of office. After Trump left the office, Trump’s conservative activist and loyalist made a proposed battle plan for the second term of office.

In a 2023 speech, Russell Vough, a 2025 project architect and now Trump’s current Director of the Management and Budget Office, putting a strategy in its center to renew America, a pro-Trump Washington Think Tank.

“I want bureaucrats to be traumatically affected because they are increasingly seen as criminals. We want to put them in trauma,” he said in a speech reported by Propublica.

The video of making his speech was raised during the Vouch confirmation hearing earlier this year but he repeatedly avoided answering questions about rhetoric and provocative plans.

Many EO Trump has dealt with the idea of ​​Elon Musk – Department of Government Efficiency, which has cut the budget of agencies and tens of thousands of federal employees throughout the country, while others have encouraged the presidential crush of immigration, such as citizenship that has been born and deported migrants as foreign strikes suspected as foreign attackers under 1798 years.

Bernadette Meyler, Professor of Law Carl and Sheila Spaeth at Stanford Law School, told ABC News that the executive order was always a tool used by the President to regulate their agenda, even if symbolically.

“This is an effective tactic. It is difficult even for the court to react quickly,” Meyler said.

Conservative groups have long recommended the reshuffle of the federal government and feel that the president needs more power to make the country more efficient.

“What he did was to start what would eventually become our legislative agenda,” said DPR Speaker Mike Johnson in January after the first round of Trump’s executive order.

The Heritage Foundation, the rightmost think tank that helps produce the 2025 project, argues that Trump’s efforts are important and quick actions can make the government more efficient.

Lindsey Burke, Director of the Educational Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, and Jonathan Butcher, a senior researcher at the Think Tank, referred this idea in a statement last month after Trump issued an executive order for a drastic reduction that applies to the Department of Education.

“Reducing the swollen bureaucracy will give more state and local education officials more decision making authority,” they said.

War of words -words, resistance to the court

Legal experts say another effective aspect of the “flood zone” tactic is the appearance of Trump’s media and Trump’s photo option, where he continues to make a controversial and provocative claims.

Meyler argues that Trump’s word war is part of a deeper tactic to damage public trust in the federal government.

He noted even with a court that issued orders, Trump’s statement and rejection of the judge’s orders with an aggressive appeal still moved the needle more to the right.

“Looks like he did many things even without a lot of judicial acts,” Meyler said.

How much steam is left?

Trump and its allies insist that they will remain on their plans to reaffirm the strength of the executive branch for a long time after the first 100 days to finish and vow to bring all their cases to the Supreme Court if necessary.

On Sunday, there were 217 court cases against the second Trump administration, according to ABC news accounting, and most of them had caused temporary detention orders, reversal and, in some cases, the full block of Trump’s agenda.

“In the first Trump government, we saw many executive actions at the beginning and then saw it slowing down,” Bonilla said. “We will live in a lot of space that occurs at once for a while, but at a certain point, there will be a time where there are so many things [the executive branch] can’t compensate. “

Meyler agreed but added that Trump, the architect of the 2025 project and their allies had stated that they were willing to work with the congress to get their agenda through the legislative channel.

“It might secure its policies, and slow down everything, and avoid the court,” he said.

The pivot will meet more resistance, especially when we approach the midterm exam, according to Meyler.

“It’s easier for some people than others because of various practical problems, but there are critical points,” he said. “People have protested and Trump’s public ranking dipped.”

However, future presidents are likely to imitate the tactics of “flood zones” in their first weeks, according to Meyler.

“For a long time the history of the president, there is rarely the revocation of the president’s power,” he said.
