About This Podcast

In this podcast, a Dutch former criminal defense attorney and an American legal specialist dissect the legal, political, and constitutional transformation currently unfolding in the United States under Donald Trump’s influence. We examine how democratic institutions are being tested — and in some cases weakened — as executive power expands toward a more autocratic model. Each episode breaks down key developments: presidential decrees, controversial policy actions, legal challenges, Supreme Court rulings, and efforts to reshape the justice system, media, and public institutions. We explore the critical question: What is legally allowed, what is unconstitutional, and what is outright illegal? Through a comparative lens between U.S. and European legal systems, we explain how checks and balances can erode, how autocracies historically emerge, and what signals indicate the tipping point from democracy to authoritarian rule. This podcast is for listeners who want more than headlines — it’s a legally grounded, politically sharp, fact-based examination of democracy under pressure.
