The Trump administration: President without precedent?

Malcolm Craig

Jimmy Carter broke with tradition and dismissed the CIA Director, while JFK hired the president of the Ford Motor Company as his Secretary of Defense; the controversial Cabinet picks and troubled transition aren't unique to Donald Trump's Presidency.

On the day of Trump's inauguration as 45th President of the United States, Dr Malcolm Craig looks at the historical context of his election, and considers the effects of big business on politics, a new approach to press relations, the first 100 days, the Trump dossier, and Obama’s legacy.
