'If You Can Keep It': How Trump Could Reshape The U.S. Government
Description
Last week, we started talking about the finer points of what Donald Trump's second presidency will look like — key policies he says he will implement, how much he can get done, and how quickly.
Now, with another week of big cabinet picks behind us, and confirmation that Republicans will hold majorities in both the Senate and House, we dive into one goal Trump is already making good on: radically changing the shape of the U.S. government in Washington.
We talk about what his choices mean for the government, and who might stand in the way of this overhaul.
