The NPR Politics Podcast · How Trump's focus on his legacy drives his decisions · 10 Aug 2026 podcast

You know, he is kind of running against the challenges of getting legislation through. voice-verified

It's just so hard to work with Congress, period. voice-verified

But Trump is finding it even harder because some of the extreme legislative efforts that he's going or trying to make. voice-verified

So I think what Tam's talking about, all the buildings, all Iran, these are ways where he can kind of have a little bit more control, especially when it comes to the buildings, when it comes to the reflecting pool, the monuments. voice-verified

These are things where he can put his stamp on history, potentially. voice-verified

Yeah, I flew with the president this weekend to New Jersey. voice-verified

And he's, you know, not only does he have the new, you know, Qatari plane that's been repainted and, you know, darker shades of red and blue. voice-verified

He's also repainted at least some of the original Air Force Ones in those colors. voice-verified

I'm very curious. voice-verified

Would a Democratic president change back the color schemes of the planes? voice-verified

Yeah, it's very close to his campaign plan. voice-verified

Absolutely, Miles. voice-verified

I mean, there's a certain type of person that, you know, that runs for president, that takes office. voice-verified

There's a bit of narcissism, I think, in all presidents. voice-verified

I think you kind of need that if you're going to run the free world. voice-verified

And clearly, especially when it comes to second administrations, you see presidents kind of starting to think more about the legacy, the talk of like, what will their library look like? voice-verified

Where will it be? voice-verified

What will be in it? voice-verified

Those kind of things are often part of those administrations. voice-verified

But kind of like just to a point that you were talking about earlier, I think what's different between Trump and other presidents is a lot of times those the signature accomplishments are just different. voice-verified
