Trump 2.0: A Year of Unconstrained Power - NYT The Daily



In the 365 days since Donald J. Trump was sworn into his second term as president, he has fired, pardoned, prosecuted, tariffed, deployed, deposed, dismantled and deported his way to a new kind of American government, one designed almost entirely in his image. In the process, he has not only transformed the federal government, he has also changed, possibly forever, the very nature of the American presidency.


On today’s episode, Michael Barbaro speaks with three longtime chroniclers of Trump’s presidency about how to make sense of what Trump has done over the past year and what his next three years in office might bring.


Guests:

• Maggie Haberman (https://www.nytimes.com/by/maggie-hab...) , a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
• Jonathan Swan (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jonathan-swan) , a White House reporter for The New York Times.
• Charlie Savage (https://www.nytimes.com/by/charlie-sa...) , who covers national security and legal policy for The New York Times.
