Donald Trump’s second presidency has been marked by a striking lack of resistance. While figures inside his first administration regularly challenged his decisions, Trump 2.0 has seen politicians, business leaders, media organisations and institutions fall into line.

So why has America’s political establishment become so reluctant to stand up to him? In this interview, Jacob Weisberg, journalist, formerly of Slate and author of Profiles in Cowardice, explains how Donald Trump has consolidated his power, and why so many of the people who once opposed him have since capitulated.

With the US midterm elections approaching, Weisberg explains why a Democratic victory in the House of Representatives could fundamentally change the political landscape, opening the door to investigations into Trump's administration, corruption and abuse of power.
