Trump’s Second-Term Playbook: Nine defining moves in one year

CBS News identifies nine defining themes from Trump’s first year back in power: sweeping federal workforce cuts and agency reorganizations; targeting political foes and pressing for investigations and pardons; mass deportations and aggressive immigration enforcement; a muscular overseas posture with strikes, Maduro’s capture, and bold moves like talks of Greenland; an economic strategy centered on tariffs and negotiated deals; extensive use of executive power and emergency actions; efforts to bend institutions, DEI programs, and universities; a dealmaking approach with companies and countries; and stamping the White House with branding projects from a ballroom and a triumphal arch to renaming institutions.
