Trump claims near-total power in potential second term after election win

edition.cnn.com

Donald Trump, after winning the presidency again, believes he will have near-total power in his second term. His victory over Vice President Kamala Harris has raised concerns about the lack of political and legal checks on his authority. Trump's return to the White House comes with a Supreme Court ruling that may grant him significant immunity for his actions. This ruling, along with a Republican-controlled Congress, could enable him to pursue an aggressive agenda without facing substantial opposition. His past behavior suggests he may disregard constitutional limits. Trump has already indicated plans to expand executive power, raising fears about potential authoritarianism during his upcoming term.
