Trump 2.0: Presidential power, priced and sold | EP①

Donald Trump's return to the White House has revived questions about money, influence, and the boundaries of presidential power.

This episode explores how access, influence, and even policy decisions have become commodities under Trump, with experts warning that the blurring of public duty and private gain could signify one of the most significant ethical crises in modern American politics.
