Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
President Donald Trump
Like his predecessor Barack Obama, President-elect Donald Trump will soon become Commander in Chief without any military experience. His leadership, paired with a Republican majority in Congress, has some servicewomen concerned about a potential chilling effect on the new roles opened to women who served last year. In addition, President-elect Trump inherits ongoing debates about U.S. military involvement overseas and how to provide adequate care for veterans, especially those with medical and mental health needs. We get the lay of the land for the military moving ahead and talk with local veterans about their expectations.
