This is a special Americast mini series, looking at five ways Donald Trump has changed America in his first 100 days back, as President of the United States.
ââŚin the USA we do no have kings, we do not have dictators we have a constitution, and the rule of law, and weâre going to make damn sure Donald Trump and his administration follow the lawâ
Critics like Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes say Trump has defied the U.S. constitution, others say heâs restricted free speech and silenced oppositional voices. Trump says itâs what the American people voted forâŚ
In our final episode, how has Trump redefined what it means to be President? And will this change how the worldâs leaders govern?

This is a special Americast mini series, looking at five ways Donald Trump has changed America in his first 100 days back, as President of the United States.
In this first episode, Matt Chorley joins Justin and Marianna to discuss Trumpâs declaration that America will be âWOKE no longerâŚwhether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.â We look at why private companies have dismantled their diversity and equity programmes, particularly as they were implemented to counter institutional racism and discrimination. Does the United States need DEI?

After the two leaders were reunited at Pope Francisâs funeral over the weekend, the Americast inbox has been filled with correspondence on whether Trump and Zelensky really have reconciled - and if it could bring a peace deal with Russia any closer.
Marianna and Sarah get together with Matt Chorley to answer your questions live on the radio. As well as the war in Ukraine, they discuss the 7-year sentence given to George Santos - the former congressman who is, of course, well known to long term listeners of this podcast via our semi-regular feature, âSantos watchâ.
Plus - has the White House been bugged for a second time? And where do Republicans and Democrats eat in Washington DC?

Thereâs trouble in the Pentagon - again!
Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump have dismissed new reports that the defence secretary sent details of confidential military plans to his wife, brother, and personal lawyer on Signal.
They both criticised journalists at the annual White House Easter event between egg related activities, but reports keep coming about unrest at the top of the defence department.
Justin, Marianna, and Anthony discuss whether Hegseth will survive or not and whether the accusations could start also damaging Trumpâs reputation.
Plus, have we found the oldest Americast listener?

President Trump has given Harvard University a long list of demands, but the university has refused to give in to them.
The president has frozen $2.2bn worth of funding as a result.
He wants Harvard to change the way it governs, hires and teaches because of concerns has over antisemitism on campus.
"No government - regardless of which party is in power - should dictate what private universities can teach," Harvard's president Alan Garber said.
Itâs the biggest example of an issue playing out in universities across the US.

âIf I had all the money in the world, Iâd spend it all just to buy one thing: a phone call to hear Kilmarâs voice again.â
Those were the pleas made to Trumpâs administration by the wife of Abrego GarcĂa, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvadorâs mega-jail. But can Trump bring him back? And does he want to?
Mariana is joined by Sumi Somaskanda to discuss the most important trial in Metaâs history, LAâs largest-ever rally held by Bernie Sanders and AOC, and whether Trumpâs eye-watering tariffs will go the distance.
Plus we hear some correspondence from some young Americasters on how liberals might fight back against Trump.

Everything has changedâŚagain! Or has it? The team assemble after President Trump scrapped his tariff plans (for 90 days at least) and reverted for a 10% levy across the board. Except for China, that is, who now face a rate of 125%.
So what is really going on? The Democrats are crying market manipulation, the markets remain chaotic, and MAGA Republicans are saying the country should trust the president. We try to separate the fact from fiction.
Plus the search for the youngest and oldest Americasters continues...

The first US measles death in a decade, mass protests against Trump and El Salvadorâs mega-jailâŚ
In todayâs Q&A Anthony, Justin and Mariana sign the podcasting equivalent of an executive order, putting a one-episode exemption on tariffs to focus on the other stories that may have fallen on the backburner since Trump shook up the worldâs financial markets.
The team discuss the biggest protests of Trumpâs second term so far, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noemâs controversial social media video featuring Venezuelan deportees, and the danger of vaccine misinformation following a measles outbreak thatâs led to the deaths of two children.
And the US Senate and Congress seem to have gone quiet - whatâs going on?

There was a bright spot for Democrats this week after a liberal judge beat her conservative rival in the most expensive judicial election in US history. Susan Crawford beat Brad Schimel despite being backed by President Donald Trump's billionaire adviser Elon Musk.
The results came amid reports that Elon Musk could soon leave his prominent role in Donald Trump's administration. The White House has described the reports as "garbage" and that Musk would only leave when his work at DOGE was complete.
And, Justin has been chatting to an economist from The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank which backs Trump's global tariffs policy.

âA lot of people want me to do itâ was Donald Trumpâs answer when asked in an NBC interview on Saturday if he wanted to serve a third term as US President. The Constitution says that âno personâŚshall be elected more than twiceâ. In todayâs Q&A with Matt Chorley on 5 Live, Mariana and Justin unpack whether Trump could rewrite history. The team also discuss whether the million-dollar cheques that Elon Musk has been handing out in Wisconsin ahead of a tightly contested Supreme Court Election are illegal. Comedian Amber Ruffin has been dropped from hosting the White House correspondentâs dinner â whatâs going on? And is Donald Trump really going to invade Greenland, or attempt to buy it â or something else entirely?

The journalist who was inadvertently included in a group chat among Trumpâs senior cabinet leaders and national security officials tells Sarah Smith how it happened. He also responds to the White Houseâs furious reaction to his decision to publish the entire exchange of messages, with Donald Trump calling the reporting a âwitch huntâ and declaring the Atlantic a âfailed magazineâ. He also calls for the Trump administration to acknowledge the security breach and âjust go fix itâ.
