Trump Will Be ‘on Turbo’ Mode for 2nd Term: Speaker Johnson

The former president’s focus is expected to be on tax cuts, cracking down on illegal immigration, and reducing the regulatory power of government agencies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said a second Trump administration will be like the first, but “on turbo” mode.

Former President Donald Trump “learned a lot of painful lessons in his first term,” Mr. Johnson said in a March 15 interview with The New Yorker. This included realizing there were those within government agencies “working against him.” Once President Trump gets back to office, his second term will be similar to the first one but “on turbo,” he said. “I think we are going to be right off to the races.”
