Trump's Unconventional Second Term: Expanding Presidential Power Without Constraints

The article delves into President Donald Trump's governance in his second term, marked by a departure from traditional norms and a significant expansion of executive power. Trump's administration has been described as operating without constraints, with actions that defy historical precedents.
Notable events include a massive federal immigration crackdown, overseeing audacious military raids, and challenging diplomatic norms with countries like Venezuela and Iran. Historians note a profound shift in power dynamics, with Trump consolidating power by purging dissenting voices and surrounding himself with loyalists.
