Apple Card and savings by Goldman Sachs Bank USA Salt Lake City branch member, FDIC terms and more@applecard.com dot in our previous episode, we had a wide ranging conversation about presidential history and presidential power with the University of Chicago legal scholar Eric Posner.
The founders could not possibly have imagined that the president would become as powerful as he has.
And we wondered, is the us presidency turning into something like a dictatorship?
Yes, I think that is happening, although, you know, dictatorship is such a freighted term.
But that conversation with Posner was recorded in 2016, a couple months before Donald Trump was elected president.
Trump is, of course, now running again against Vice President Kamala Harris.
So today on Freakonomics radio, we go back to Eric Posner to talk about what's happened over the past eight years and what the future may bring.
I think it's actually pretty hard to be a dictator.
