America at 250 - and a reckoning for President Trump
CBS News • • nation
Key Points:
- President Trump’s second term coincides with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. republic, a moment described by historian Lindsay Chervinsky as a turning point for a nation founded on ideas rather than shared ethnicity or religion.
- Trump’s leadership style centers on personal authority, exemplified by his statement "I alone can fix this," contrasting with historical presidents who relied on Congressional cooperation to govern effectively.
- Critics, including columnist George Will, argue Trump is testing and expanding executive power boundaries, with Republicans in Congress often silent due to fear of primary challenges fueled by Trump’s influence.
- On the foreign policy front, Trump is pursuing an assertive global role, including controversial moves like attempting to acquire Greenland and navigating complex issues such as the Ukraine
