Donald Trump’s return to office in 2025 has been marked with a flurry of unilateral commands and dramatic confrontations with the executive branch he heads. On issues ranging from immigration to trade to “patriotic education,” he has demanded that the rest of government (and the world) submit to his will. How has presidential power expanded over time – and what’s new under Trump 2.0? Which of his actions are legal – and which go too far? Come join a leading scholar of the American presidency in discussing Trump’s efforts to reboot the “imperial Presidency” and the prospects of his success.
