President Trump is one year into his second term, and a lot has happened. There's been military action in Venezuela, a Justice Department investigation into the Federal Reserve chairman, and a fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent.
To understand what this means for America's future, we spoke with experts. Lindsay Chervinsky, executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, joined us. She shared her thoughts on how President Trump's actions will impact the country. We also talked to Washington Post columnist George F. Will and Atlantic staff writer Vivian Salama about their perspectives on the future.
President Trump has been in office for a while now. How do you see this affecting America?
We're one year into his second term, and it feels like he's taking more aggressive action than ever before. The latest reports show that he's planning to take military action in Venezuela, which raises questions about what kind of impact this will have on the country.
One thing that stands out is how much power he has at his disposal right now. He can make decisions without consulting anyone else, and that means he has a lot more room for maneuvering than usual.
It's also worth noting that there are some people who are concerned about what might happen next. Some experts think that this could be the beginning of a larger crisis, while others believe that it will pass quickly.
One thing is certain though: whatever happens next, it will have significant consequences for America and the world at large.
We spoke with a few different experts to get their take on things. One person who shared her insights was Lindsay Chervinsky, executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon.
"The situation in Venezuela is complex," she said. "The United States has a lot of interest in what happens there because it affects our trade relationships and national security."
Chervinsky also talked about how President Trump's actions will impact the country, particularly when it comes to issues like immigration and civil rights.
"We need to think carefully about how we're going to address these challenges," she said. "We can't just sit back and wait for something to happen. We need to take action now."
Another expert who shared his thoughts was Washington Post columnist George F. Will.
"I think the biggest challenge facing America right now is our national identity," he said. "We're facing a lot of questions about who we are as a country, what kind of values we stand for, and how we're going to move forward in a way that's consistent with those values."
Will also talked about the importance of leadership and communication skills.
"We need leaders who can communicate effectively and inspire us to work together towards a common goal," he said. "We need people who can bring people together, not drive them apart."
Finally, we spoke with Atlantic staff writer Vivian Salama, who shared her insights on the impact of President Trump's actions on different groups of people.
"For many Americans, this is a time of great anxiety and uncertainty," she said. "There are people who are worried about their economic security, others who are concerned about their safety and well-being, and still others who are simply feeling frustrated with the direction that our country is headed."
Salama also talked about how different groups are responding to these challenges in unique ways.
"We're seeing a lot of activism and organizing around issues like immigration reform, climate change, and racial justice," she said. "These are complex issues that require careful consideration and dialogue. We need to be willing to listen to each other's perspectives and work together towards solutions."
Overall, it's clear that the future is uncertain right now. One thing that stands out is how much power President Trump has at his disposal, and how that will impact the country in the coming months.
It's up to us to stay informed, engage in respectful dialogue, and think carefully about the consequences of our actions. Only then can we work towards creating a brighter future for all Americans.
The next hour brings more stories from around the world. We'll take you on a journey through history as we explore what happened on this day in the past. From historic events to cultural milestones, we'll examine it all and reflect on its relevance today.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how much power President Trump has right now 
. It's like he's playing with fire 
and we're all just watching from the sidelines 
. I mean, one minute he's planning military action in Venezuela, and the next thing you know, he's making decisions without consulting anyone else 
. What's going on? 
. Like, how are we even supposed to have a conversation about that when it feels like President Trump is just tweeting his own opinions instead of listening to others' perspectives 
? It's hard to take anyone seriously when they're not willing to put in the work to understand different perspectives 
.
. We need to be thinking carefully about how we're going to address these challenges, but it feels like President Trump is just throwing more fuel on the fire 
. We need to start engaging in respectful dialogue and thinking carefully about the consequences of our actions 
. Otherwise, I don't know how we'll ever create a brighter future for all Americans 
.
Wasn't she talking about how complex it is and how we need to think carefully about our response? 
? What a great point! We really do need leaders who can inspire us to work together towards a common goal 
.
. The thing is, we're all just trying to figure this out as we go along 
. So, yeah, let's all just take a deep breath and try to stay informed, engage in respectful dialogue, and think carefully about the consequences of our actions 
.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAKING ACTION WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE ELSE AND IT'S SCARY HOW MUCH POWER HE HAS AT HIS DISPOSAL. I MEAN, WE NEED TO THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS ISSUES LIKE IMMIGRATION AND CIVIL RIGHTS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T WANT HIM TO JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. 
WE NEED LEADERS WHO CAN COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY AND INSPIRE US TO WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL. 
has anyone thought about how his actions in venezuela are gonna affect the whole world? 
it's like he's just making up his own rules and nobody's stopping him 
IT'S LIKE HE THINKS HE'S ABOVE THE LAW OR SOMETHING!
WE CAN'T JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW!
. But at the same time, I'm also optimistic because I see a lot of activism and organizing around important issues like immigration reform, climate change, and racial justice 
.
. We need to be willing to listen to each other's perspectives and work together towards solutions. It's up to us to stay informed, engage in respectful conversations, and think carefully about the consequences of our actions 
.
. We're facing a lot of questions about who we are as a country, what values we stand for, and how we'll move forward. It's time to take a step back and reflect on our values and priorities 
.
.
.
like he's gettin more aggro by the day and ppl r really worried about the consequences 
what if this sparks a bigger crisis? 
we need to stay vigilant and keep an eye on how this unfolds...
. One expert mentioned that the situation in Venezuela could be the beginning of a larger crisis
