Trump - How Crazy Will It Get?

The 47th president of the United States has begun his administration with a rush of executive orders intended to change the direction of the US. Some seem destructive but predictable - moving against undocumented migrants and re-leaving the Paris Climate Accord. Others just MAGA crowd-pleasers - declaring there are only two genders and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. But what does freeing the people who assaulted police officers in the Capitol on January 6 suggest about justice under Trump? What does leaving the World Health Organisation say about America's place in the world? Will the US become a very different sort of country in the next four years, or will it all be reversed with a disillusioned electorate and a Democrat victory in 2028? Phil and Roger get the picture from Dr Thomas Gift, Associate Professor of Political Science at UCL, and founding Director of the UCL Centre on US Politics.
