The Republican Party Is Out of Control | An ungovernable party is about to run the government.https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/government-shutdown-trump-johnson-republicans-out-of-control.html
Well no. That's not how the US government works. It's not a parliamentary system.
The president runs the executive branch regardless of party. Meanwhile our elected representatives run their own chambers in Congress. Again, regardless of party.
I think far too often Europeans will tend to view the US government through parliamentary lenses that just don't apply to the very different style of government.
