During a discussion on Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists addressed Donald Trump's assertive and strategic approach in his second term. Unlike his initial presidency, where he often reacted to immediate pressures, Trump now displays a greater tolerance for criticism and has shown a willingness to withstand market backlash, particularly around tariffs. This evolution in his leadership style suggests a more determined and strategic use of presidential powers, indicating a significant shift in how American governance is functioning under his administration.
"The difference between Trump now and Trump previously is one thing I've been struck by, which is just how confident, bold, aggressive, creative he has been at sort of wielding the levers of powers at his disposal to bend, you know, the city, the country, and the world to his will."
"He is trying to win over the person directly in front of him. But the president also now appears to be tolerating more criticism than he might have in his first term."
