Monday marked 50 days since President Donald Trump took office for his second term.

Among a long list of actions, he’s signed a flurry of executive actions involving tariffs, immigration, government spending and more. Some of Trump’s executive actions have prompted lawsuits, layoffs and protests.

GSU politics and policy professor Tammy Greer returned to “Closer Look,” on Tuesday. Greer talked with show host Rose Scott about how her students are responding to Trump’s presidency and the questions they now have about the role and responsibility of government, and overall, how it’s supposed to work.

During the conversation, Greer discussed the separation of powers, why she feels many people are disconnected from politics and why she feels it’s critical for everyone to be engaged.
