A 2015 rally at the Trump Hotel in downtown D.C.
On the 2016 campaign trail, then-candidate Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C. Since he’s taken office, he has acted on that promise in a number of ways –from halting federal employment to cutting business regulations. But how do Trump’s actions to “Make America Great Again” affect local Washington –the city of more than 650,000 that operates no matter who sits in the White House? Here at The Kojo Nnamdi Show, we’re covering every layer of D.C. impacted by Trump. Catch up with recent segments here, and suggest new stories for us by emailing kojo@wamu.org.
