Investigating Trump, Project 2025 and the Future of the United States | Four Corners (2024)

There has never been a US president like Donald Trump — and now he’s back, this time with a detailed plan for his second coming. Nearly four years after he was cast out by voters and accused of encouraging the American people to assault their own democracy with the attack on the US Capitol, the now convicted criminal wants to rebuild the country in his own image. 

Ahead of the US election in November, Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy travels to Washington for the first of a special two-part series. He sits down with White House insiders who witnessed the chaos of Trump’s first term — some who continue to support his vision, and others Trump now considers “traitors”. 

Trump wants to reshape the pillars of American democracy and give himself more power. Willacy goes inside “Project 2025”, the blueprint for a second Trump term and the army of recruits ready to carry out his orders. Meanwhile strategy, security and defence experts warn of the impact another Trump presidency could have on America’s institutions, its democracy, and the rest of the world.
