"Trump's 2025 Agenda: Expanding Presidential Power"

Donald Trump and his allies are planning to increase presidential power if he is reelected in 2025, aiming to concentrate greater authority in the hands of the president. Their plans include bringing independent agencies under direct presidential control, reviving the practice of "impounding" funds, stripping employment protections from career civil servants, and removing officials from intelligence agencies, the State Department, and defense bureaucracies. Trump's campaign website and policy proposals outline these intentions, which are part of a broader effort to reshape the executive branch and dismantle what they view as a "rogue administrative state." Critics argue that these plans would undermine democratic checks and balances and could lead to chaos and conflicts with Congress and the courts.
