NPR’s ’Trump’s Terms’ podcast examines President Trump’s plans for his second term

Following the 2024 presidential election, the major criminal trials against Donald Trump have effectively ended. Now, as President Trump prepares for his second term, NPR is launching Trump’s Terms, a new podcast that examines Trump’s return to Washington.

Driven by the news, Trump’s Terms will publish multiple episodes a week and feature the best of NPR’s reporting and analysis. Hosted by Scott Detrow, the podcast will start with a focus on the people wielding power in President Trump’s second administration and the policies they are pursuing. From his closest political advisors to Cabinet secretaries and top military leaders, we explore who they are, what they believe, and how they’ll govern. NPR is following their path to power — and exploring how their ideas could become reality.

Listen to the trailer here. 

Trump’s Terms is the next chapter after Trump’s Trials, the weekly podcast that recapped the inquiries, trials and criminal probes previously faced by President-elect Trump.
