Can Democrats fight Trump’s political power?

Earlier this week, Donald Trump took to the U.S. Capitol for this
term’s first joint address to Congress. He showed off his
executive order accomplishments and chided opponents. The joint
address was just short of a victory lap for his and the GOP’s
political dominance. Do Democrats have a plan to build a stronger
opposition party? 


Trump also carved out speech time to acknowledge his tiff with
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump, Vice President JD
Vance, and Zelenskyy recently gathered in the White House to
discuss plans for peace in Ukraine. Things soured, and the Trump
administration paused military aid and intelligence sharing for
Ukraine. E.U. leaders made plans to support Ukraine in the U.S.’
stead. Does pulling back America’s influence in the conflict make
the country look weaker on the world stage?


Trump may have crafted an all-powerful image, but how accurate is
that? In the article “MAGA as Master Morality”,
author Jeremiah Johnson posits that Trump’s bravado may resonate
with voters more than his actions. KCRW also takes a listener
question on whether Trump’s presidential powers include changing
the price of eggs.
