The complex social problems facing US
Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States on Jan 20, and the Republican Party is in majority in both the US Congress and government. Still, the US will continue to be roiled in social controversies.
The Republican caucus proposed to weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics program. But Trump opposed it, because he believes "draining the swamp" is more important. The Republican caucus has also vowed to abolish Obamacare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) on the first day of the Senate, while Democrats have decided to take the marathon "vote-a-rama" approach, making the budget difficult to pass.
US intelligence agencies have said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian intelligence agencies to intervene in the 2016 US presidential election, by multiple means, to discredit Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton and "undermine faith in US election and help Trump". But Trump said hackers had no effect on the election result, although he later conceded that the Democratic National Convention might have been hacked.
