Donald Trump's current flip-flopping on issues after making promises on the campaign trail could blow up in his face with his supporters not long after he takes the oath of office.

That is the opinion of an analyst for the New Republic who asserted that both the president-elect and his MAGA are all headed for a political brick wall once he tries to govern after assuming office.

According to one Republican Party lawmaker who is stepping down after four terms as governor, his party will not always be under the sway of Donald Trump and there have already been cracks in the relationship.

With the president-elect retaking control of the reins of power on Jan. 20, he will enter office as lame duck who can't run in 2028, which could pave the way for incoming Vice President J.D. Vance, but he likely won't be handed the nomination.

That is according to outgoing Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) who has wavered in his defense of Trump, at one time being the biggest backer of ex- South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's run for the nomination.

Speaking with Politico, Sununu claimed the GOP, despite popular opinion is still a "big tent" party that welcomes all and then stated, “Trump is extremely unique. There’s no ‘Trump lite’ or ‘Trump 2.0’ that can replace or replicate what he’s brought to the table, for better or for worse."

Asked about Trump's hold on the party, he pointed to the failed nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be attorney general that quickly crashed and burned after a substantial number of Republican senators made it clear they would not vote for him.

"Did [former Rep.] Matt Gaetz just get pushed right out of his nomination to be the U.S. attorney general? Yes. Look, it’s never easy criticizing the president and the standard bearer of your party, and there’s always that kind of political honeymoon period that happens when you first get elected," he stated. "But there are already signs of folks that are willing to push back and criticize and say no when they feel like they have to say no. And that should give the American people a big sigh of relief that it’s not the evil dictatorship that the liberal media was telling us it was going to be."

Pressed by reporters ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations on why he apparently reversed his position on the H1-B visa program, President-elect Donald Trump denied doing any such thing.

"I didn’t change my mind," said Trump. "I always felt we have to have the most competent people in our country. We need competent people. We need smart people coming into our country. We need a lot of people coming in."

Donald Trump’s recent legal filing to the Supreme Court regarding a possible ban on the popular TikTok app was largely met with ridicule and bewilderment by legal experts, who doubted the incoming president’s legal basis for his request.

With the court poised to rule on the ban, an attorney for the president-elect submitted a brief on Friday asking the high court to suspend the law’s Jan. 19 deadline until Trump is sworn in so he can attempt to negotiate a compromise.

President-elect Donald Trump's latest legal briefing is a bridge too far even for the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board, which called his argument to save TikTok "extraordinary in several ways, none of them good."

Trump — who once signed an executive order four years ago threatening to ban the popular social media app — this month asked the Supreme Court to let him "save" TikTok ahead of a looming nationwide ban set to take effect Jan. 19 if its Chinese parent company doesn’t sell it to a U.S. company.

Those accused of attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are now begging the courts to be allowed to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.

Among the 1,600 people charged with a felony or misdemeanor for their role in Jan. 6, many of them have had their travel restricted, particularly when it comes to visiting the building they allegedly attacked, CBS News reported.

While Black Americans overwhelmingly remained with the Democratic Party this year, Trump had a number of prominent Black supporters who went the extra mile to fight for his election. But with Trump preparing to take office, "Black MAGA" has reaped little rewards for their year of efforts, Tatyana Tandanpolie wrote for Salon.

"Black ultraconservative elected officials like Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott frequently joined Trump on the campaign trail, boosting the then-candidate's outreach to the Black electorate as they sat on the shortlist for his vice presidential pick," wrote Tandanpolie. And yet "their efforts to curry favor with the would-be president-elect didn't materialize in sought-after Cabinet positions despite the president-elect's promises to reward his most loyal supporters with high-ranking roles in his administration."

A lifetime farmer who lives in an area filled with signs supporting Donald Trump fears one of the president-elect's key campaign promises, according to a report.

Joe Del Bosque of Del Bosque Farms on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, expressed concerns about what will happen if promises for mass deportations are kept.

Foreign policy experts are warning that President-elect Donald Trump's plan to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations could give him authorization to launch military strikes inside of Mexico.

Semafor reports that Trump's decision to designate the cartels as terrorists would grant him the same authority to launch military unilateral strikes against them as American presidents have done for years against organizations such as Boko Harum and Islamic State.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's party wants to know within days if he plans to quit.

Politico reported Tuesday that party members want him to reveal his plans as soon as the holidays are over.

Donald Trump Jr. revealed that he dreaded attending the annual New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago because his father's drunk friends treat him like a "freaking imbecile."

While speaking on Monday's Triggered podcast, Trump said ringing in the New Year at Mar-a-Lago would be "a little rough."
