Now the AfD, which critics have lambasted for peddling xenophobia, seems poised tO dO well in Germany s federal elections in September, which could give it seats in the country s national parliament, the Bundestag, for the first time. polls and political analysts predict the CDU will win the largest share Of votes, which means Merkel will likely remain chancellor, despite a challenge from the left. But if the AfD's support holds, it would become the third largest party in the Bundestag, and the government s most prominent opposition party, making it the most successful nationalist party since the NaziS.

The process yields isoprene, the compound needed to create rubber.

P E G Y P T A G TRUMP C A R T E L S IRAQ N A R C T I C DEAL WITH 打 part: working with Congress orders. Now comes the hard his first month issuing executive President Trump has spent IN 1987 , Donald Trump helped create his image as a master negotiator with his best-selling bOOk, The Art ど Deal. Never mind that his ghost- writer, Tony Schwartz, says wrote virtually all of it. Either way, the book includes an mportant lesson: NOt every deal goes well. "I never get t00 attached tO one deal or one approach," Trump (and Schwartz) write s. 。 For starte rs, I keep a lot ofballs in the air, because most deals 信Ⅱ out, no matter hOW promising they seem at first. Trump will soon be juggling as fast as he can. He and his White House team will be working on multiple deals, 仕 om defense spending to health care. And theywill be sitting across the table from not one party but 535 independent actors—100 members 0f the Senate and 435 members of the House 0fRepresentatives. Trump often plays the Rolling stones' "You can't Always Get What You Want ” at his rallies, and when it comes to Con- gres s, the s ong is fitting. N E W S W E E K Even though Republicans hold majorities in b oth chamb e rs , Trump's path to getting what he wants is strewn with hazards. Senate rules allow the minority party—in this case, the Dem- ocrats—to thwart lOts ofdeals with just 40 votes, so Trump will need to reach out to the likes of Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader and fellow New Yorker, who is under enormous pres- sure from progre SSive S tO re SiSt eve ry Trump entreaty. Much Of the president's agenda won t please Republicans either; they aren't even fond ofhis massive budget cuts. But the biggest obstacle Trump faces IS math: His cuts need tO pay for his massive tax reductions and defense spending—and that won't be easy. So far, all that's come out of the White House is a broad outline. ln March, the administraüon will release a slightly more detailed budget plan to Congress.
