• Get 20% off annual Patreon support for The Bunker in our Black Friday sale. The perfect gift to ask for! Donald Trump has secured a “trifecta” as he heads to the White House, while the House and Senate are due to be controlled by Republicans. So, can the checks and balances of the US system work at all? Can he circumvent everything – or will anyone push back?
