Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
One of President Trump's promises in 2016 was to "drain the swamp." Has he?
Since taking the oath, President Donald Trump has pushed an agenda aimed at dismantling the “administrative state”- one of his three main goals laid out by chief strategist Steve Bannon. His budget proposal is expected to go even further toward that goal by slashing funding for a number of government agencies and programs. Those cuts are expected to lead to layoffs for many federal workers in our region. Kojo explores what the proposed budget could mean for the local economy and workforce.
WAMU 88.5 is exploring the local impact of the new administration. Learn more about The Trump Effect.
