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.

Anyone but Diaper Joe 2024
Great platform.
I’m in.
Yes, indeed!
So am I!
well, the current puppet in the WH and his handlers are out of control and not even bothering to worry about what’s legal or with in the constitution bounds.
Axios lacks credibility. Fake journalists
Axios should list all of the anti American, authoritarian things that Joe is doing.
They may believe it but it is a perfect example of projection. What do they think Biden is doing?
Its a decent list- if he accomplishes even a fraction would be an improvement over past or proposed administrative criteria of GOPe candidates- certainly more than the warmed over Jack Kemp via George Bush statist defeatism of the neoliberal/ neocon DeSantian crew. US military use against drug cartels and “street crime” is a disturbing and slippery slope, but I appreciate the impetus. Most of the rest is solid, if not anywhere near reactionary enough to restore this nation to its moral core.
Reactionary enough for me would involve free helicopter rides for the Bolshevik scum that has infested our institutions from top to bottom.
Here it is, folks. Here is what they believe Trump will do in his second term.

Thanks for posting this. I really thought Trump would piss and moan all about “DeSanctimonius” nonstop for the next 18 months.
No, they don’t believe that. They want the voters to believe that. Big difference. State it correctly.🙂
Oh, FOAD...
“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.”
🙄
True that, voters will believe anything it seems, as long as it makes them feel better about whatever side they think they are on, most civil service jobs can be replaced by ai and it will always do a better job at those services than any one currently is.
he should also promise that the killer of Ashley Babbit will be prosecuted.
Some will for sure. They believed Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian hoax. Some to this day still believe that lie.
Lots of smoke and not much fire..
