Presidential Historian Delivers Stark Warning On Just How Much Power Trump Will Have
HuffPost
Michael Beschloss explained how Trump could become "the strongest president in American history."
NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss sounded the alarm on just how much power Donald Trump will likely wield when he returns to the White House in January.
“We’re about to see possibly the strongest president in American history,” he told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday.
Beschloss said the Supreme Court has already ruled that Trump is immune from prosecution in most cases. In addition, Republicans will be in control of the Senate and potentially the House.
“So you’re not going to have any kind of a constraint on him in terms of impeachment,” he said, while also dismissing the threat of impeachment as now “pretty much toothless.”
