With Donald Trump back in the White House, his second administration is already more transformative than his first. But, how will his policies reshape America’s domestic landscape? Will his agenda cement a long-term realignment in American politics, or succumb to fierce institutional resistance? With the world's eyes on Trump, this discussion will provide a rare insider’s perspective on the policies, challenges, and strategies shaping his second term and America's future. Join us for an unfiltered analysis of the Second Trump Administration!
