The Enduring Legacy of Trump’s Imperial Presidency

Bloomberg: “Trumpism may or may not outlast Trump, but one aspect that will persist is his expansion of the executive branch. Through a meticulously planned barrage of policies and test cases, combined with a flagrant disregard for guardrails that once bound him and his predecessors, Trump has reset, and expanded, the parameters of Oval Office power, shifting voters’ expectations along the way.”

“This redefinition could loom through the next three years, both for Trumpism’s would-be heirs and for Democrats who might seek to match his performative, constitutionally questionable zeal (if without the Supreme Court majority that’s enabled it). It’s not about whether the next president will keep some of these new powers, but about which.”
