President Trump has dramatically expanded the powers and pageantry of the presidency, embracing royal trappings and asserting sweeping authority over government institutions and policy. His second term has seen the transformation of the White House, the designation of his birthday as a national holiday, and the use of executive orders at an unprecedented pace, all with minimal resistance from Congress or the courts. Supporters view his strong-handed approach as necessary to combat entrenched interests, while critics warn of threats to democracy and unchecked personal enrichment. Despite low approval ratings and growing opposition, Trump continues to dominate the political landscape, raising questions about the future balance of power and the lasting impact of his presidency.
