Trump’s view of a unilaterally powerful president goes unchallenged


Listen Later

Since President Trump was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial, there has been a lot of action out of the White House.
From firing people in his administration who testified against him in the House Inquiry to compromising the Justice Department’s independence, Trump's actions seem to paint a picture of a president who feels emboldened by the resolution of his months-long impeachment battle. 
So does this post-acquittal moment reflect a president more emboldened than before? White House reporter Ashley Parker offers insight into President Trump’s perception of power and what we can expect to see from him in an election year.
