The Executive, Judiciary and Legislature; Discord, Disdain and Disfunction (America Under Trump - recorded on 7/4/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Roopmati Khandekar.
The discussion was: Roopmati Khandekar, geopolitical analyst, helps us understand the conflict between the three branches of government in the US. This has become more evident in Trump's current administration. His executive orders demonstrate his thirst for power in excess of constitutional limitations over the Congress and the Judiciary. We discuss how far he has gone, what methods he has used to achieve that power, and how he is likely to use those and other methods in the future.
The takeaway was: The erosion of constitutional limitations under Trump has been breathtaking, and we need to follow it closely and connect the dots to document this extraordinary decline of our democracy.
