How an Unrestrained Trump Would Govern

“Behind all the pageantry, the Republican convention made clear what Donald Trump’s governing style would look like in a second term: assertive, adversarial and unconstrained,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“If he wins the November election, Trump would return to the White House unburdened by ever having to appear on a ballot again, with more conviction about his vision for the country and more knowledge about how to execute it. The cabinet secretaries and White House aides who once beat back—and sometimes quietly worked to undermine—his most radical ideas would be replaced by loyalists eager to push his agenda even further. And he could reap the benefits of a Supreme Court whose conservative majority he enshrined.”
