The U.S. Presidency is one of the areas that Ben Gaskins pays close attention to. He is associate professor of political science at Lewis and Clark College and has a PhD from Florida State.
The article from KOIN 6 News features Ben Gaskins, a political science professor at Lewis & Clark College, discussing the potential implications of a second term for President Donald Trump. Gaskins outlines several key areas where Trump's policies could evolve or intensify, including foreign policy, domestic issues like healthcare and immigration, and the potential for further polarization in American politics. He notes that Trump's first term was marked by significant changes in policy direction, particularly in deregulation, tax cuts, and judicial appointments. Gaskins speculates on the continuation of these trends, suggesting that Trump might push for more aggressive deregulation, further tax reforms, and possibly more conservative judicial picks. Additionally, he discusses the potential for increased tension with Congress, especially if the balance of power shifts, and how Trump's approach to governance might either solidify his base or further alienate opposition, potentially leading to a more divided nation.
