  • As legal cases mount, more than 100 so far challenging the legality of the Trump administration's actions, the Republican president is daring the other branches of government
  • Congress and the courts
  • to try to stop him.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses how former President Donald Trump, even after leaving office, continues to test the boundaries of his authority and influence within the Republican Party and American politics. As Trump prepared to address the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the piece highlights his ongoing impact through several actions: his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, his persistent false claims of election fraud, and his influence over GOP lawmakers. Despite facing potential legal challenges and being impeached twice, Trump maintains a strong grip on the party, evidenced by his endorsements swaying primary elections and his ability to rally his base. The article also touches on how Trump's continued political activity, including his potential 2024 presidential run, challenges the norms of presidential behavior post-tenure, raising questions about the limits of former presidential power and the health of democratic institutions.
