Tonight on a special last of the year edition of Washington week, we'll take Donald

Trump both seriously and literally and discuss what a second Trump term could look like.

He's already told us what he's planning for January 20th, of course.

I said I want to be a dictator for one day. We'll talk about the presumptive GOP front runners

plans and dreams and what they can mean for America and the world.

Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to a very special episode of Washington week with the Atlantic and I really mean with the Atlantic as you will soon see.

Tonight for our last show of the year we're going to talk about Donald Trump, his

record, his campaign, and the promises he's made. We just published a special

issue of the Atlantic devoted to answering the question,

what will happen if Trump wins?

In this issue, 24 of our writers

look at Trump's record in domestic and foreign policy,

the economy and national security.

And we have a number of those writers with us tonight.

McKay Coppins, who in addition to being a staff writer is the author of Romney A Reckoning.

Franklin 4, whose last book is the last politician inside Joe Biden's White House and the

struggle for America's future.

Clint Smith, author of how the word is passed and also a staff writer.

And Adrian LaFrance, our esteemed executive editor, esteemed.

I put that in there, a special.
