Former President Trump's second-term governing plans are coming into clearer focus, as he lays out a vision for a dramatic expansion of federal power — particularly the presidency.
Why it matters: In public statements, videos and posts on his campaign's website, Trump complains about Washington's "swamp" — but lays out a plan that would give him, as president, more control of virtually every facet of life in America.
Zoom in: Trump's plans go well beyond the provocative promises he made during his recent CNN town hall — to pardon nearly all of the convicted Jan. 6 rioters (there have been about 500), and to immediately broker an end the war in Ukraine.
Such pardons would effectively nullify what Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the Justice Department's most far-reaching and important investigation in its history.
Trump's comments on Ukraine were in line with his opposition to continued military aide to help that nation resist Russia's invasion.
Those moves would be extremely controversial, but generally within a president's authority. Much of Trump's agenda, however, would represent an unprecedented power grab by the executive branch — driven by far-right conservatism and Trump's grievances.

CNN and now Axios doing advertisements for Trump. 🤔
Trump: PRO-AMERICA. Make America Great Again!
All Democrats: ANTI-AMERICA! Make America into a socialist/fascist/communist tryanny!
Sounds like a king. He wants to have control over every aspect of our lives. Yieks.
Did ya get that from Trumps first term, or this bull sh*t media publication that you’re parroting?
After reading the entire article, if that is what Trump actually wants, I support him now more than ever.
Any fool MUST realize that if the democrats CHEATED and WON last time, they will CHEAT and WIN THIS TIME. Especially since they will have LEARNED from their mistakes last go-around. And they could implement AI to make the cheating SEAMLESS.
You are FOOLS. All of you boomers reading this with fat guts and bad hips and scooters for buying chi com goods at walmart and your disposable incomes better start PREPARING. If your time is limited, and you are going out, go out with a bang. and leave a homestead that is self sufficient to family members and friends that are smart/tough enough to take care of it and defend it. And demand ACTION at his mastubatory rallies instead of chanting "lock her/him up!" and "we love you!" Go there to ORGANIZE. Maybe we can pull out a victory. But I doubt it, for the reasons I stated earlier. The odds are astronomically against us.
Your tagline doesn’t agree with what you just wrote.
Excuse me. They fact check the crap trump says. Infact most of the time they play back the video with his own words. Not difficult!
Who's they nappy?
Remember when the left used to support peace ?
But they don’t think the Biden administration hasn’t created a far-left-of-the-Republic grab? SMH
