'A Helluva Ride' - The Trump Revolution Begins. Four Corners returns for 2017 with an incisive exploration of how President Donald Trump will wield his power. Through interviews with key players in the Trump camp and the Republican Party, the program examines the political earthquake rippling across America. In his first assignment for Four Corners, reporter Michael Brissenden draws on his experience during his time as the ABC's Washington correspondent to explain just how revolutionary the presidency of Donald Trump is. He talks to those who know Trump well, asking how we should read the President's actions. And explores what a Trump presidency means for key issues like climate change and foreign policy. Trump supporters are still savouring the President's victory. While Trump's opponents vow to fight him every step of the way in Congress and in the courts.
