Inside Story - Will Donald Trump Last through His First Full Term as US President?


There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures.

Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as president. | Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra | Guests: Oliver McGee - former Trump adviser; David A Love - Executive Editor of Black Commentator dot com; Jeanne Zaino - Professor of political science and international studies at Iona College
