Donald Trump's Legacy (S2 E2)

The last four years, we can all agree, were pivotal in American history. Donald Trump, whom many labeled as an outsider, rocked Washington and the country with his unconventional style, combative rhetoric, and populist message. Indeed, he was the poster child (and for some, the cause) of an increasingly polarized political environment. Now that we have a new President, we can start dissecting and evaluating the Trump administration in its whole. While fresh on our minds are the Capitol riots and his impeachment (if we can even call it "fresh" given that it happened more than two months ago), we wanted to take this time to talk about his Presidency as a whole. What will we remember Donald J. Trump for? What impact has he had on America's social and political culture? How will history remember Donald Trump and what he accomplished, good or bad? Sydney Smith ('22) and Christian Diaz de Leon ('21) join us to delve into these questions and discuss the 45th.
