President Donald Trump speaks on tax reform in the Grand Foyer of the White House, Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, in Washington.

On this edition of Political Rewind: President Trump has been in office for less than one year, but Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne is already looking at the long term impact the Trump presidency will have on American democracy–for good and for ill.

He joins us to discuss his new book “One Nation after Trump, A Guide to the Perplexed, the Desperate and the Not-Yet Deported.”

Plus: The CDC finds itself caught in a raging controversy: have they been directed to avoid words like “fetus” and “transgender” if they want their budgets approved by the Republican congress?

And we’ll look at how the City of Atlanta responded to the unprecedented blackout at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

 

Panelists:

Jim Galloway, AJC political writer

Loretta Lepore, Republican strategist

E.J. Dionne, Washington Post columnist
