Trump made the GOP a big-tent party. Now, he’s stuck with the infighting.

Trump’s coalition of MAGA supporters, tech industry members, and blue-collar workers helped him win the November election. However, as he prepares to take office, there are already conflicts between these groups, particularly over issues such as tariffs, immigration, and global expansion. Trump’s governing style of encouraging competition among his advisers may help him retain ultimate decision-making power. There are also divisions within his inner circle, such as between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk. Despite these challenges, Trump’s diverse coalition of supporters makes it likely that he will make decisions that may not please all of them.
