'Leaders all over the world understand that Trump is only there for two more years & then he's gone'

In American politics, presidential power has its limits. And now the laws of gravity are catching up to Donald Trump's hyper-aggressive use of executive power.

Following what political scientist Ian Bremmer describes as the most consequential electoral reversal for a governing party in more than half a century, the founder and CEO of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media argues that the United States has entered a new political phase: the beginning of the end of Trump's capacity to dominate the domestic and international agenda. Joining François Picard for a wide-ranging Spotlight interview, Bremmer revisits his provocative thesis that America has already reached "peak Trump." Far from suggesting that the president has become powerless, he contends that his authority has now been challenged and put in check by a newly emboldened congressional opposition, unprecedented Republican discontent, highly unpopular economic and foreign policy decisions and the growing awareness among international leaders that it's the beginning of the end for the present administration.
