Episode notes
The opening 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term have proven to be among the most consequential and sweeping starts to a presidency since Franklin D. Roosevelt entered the White House. Trump’s actions have challenged the foundations of the New Deal, the Great Society, and even the Reagan-era Republican principles of free trade and strong international alliances. His administration has aggressively targeted law, media, public health, and cultural institutions in an effort to reshape them.
Chris Cooper, a political science professor at Western Carolina University, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss Trump’s latest approval ratings and what they reveal about the political climate.
