  • Donald Trump will flex one of the most intense and sweeping demonstrations of presidential power on the first day of any administration, seeking to fundamentally change America's course by sundown on Monday.

The article from CNN, published on January 20, 2025, discusses the implications of former President Donald Trump's potential return to power and how it might affect executive authority. It examines Trump's previous tenure, where he frequently tested the limits of presidential power, often clashing with the judiciary and Congress. Analysts suggest that should Trump return, he might seek to expand executive power even further, potentially through more aggressive use of executive orders, reshaping the federal bureaucracy, and possibly challenging the norms that govern checks and balances. The piece highlights concerns from legal experts and political scientists about the erosion of democratic norms, the potential for increased polarization, and the impact on governance if Trump were to adopt a more confrontational stance towards other branches of government. It also notes the anticipation of legal battles and the role of the Supreme Court in potentially moderating or enabling such expansions of executive power.
