In just one year, Donald Trump has transformed America's government and its institutions.

His actions and agenda reflect a far more emboldened president in his second term – and the guardrails designed to keep a president in check, from the courts to Congress, are buckling.

Trump’s success in reshaping the system raises deeper questions about exactly what kind of country the United States will become.

Today, Director of the Australia Institute's International & Security Affairs Program, Dr Emma Shortis, on how Trump is remaking American politics – and whether there is any way back from here.
