Trump uses levers of power: law firms and universities forced to concede.

President Donald Trump is under significant control, using his power to pressure his opponents, CNN reports.

During the first two months of his second term, Trump actively sought to suppress opposition in legal circles, academia, the media, the courts, the Democratic Party, Congress, and independent state agencies.

Trump's previous actions indicate his willingness to test the limits of his power and the powerlessness of his opponents.

According to CNN, at least two law firms decided to side with Trump, avoiding his threats. Other firms are trying to fight in court, obtaining temporary restraining orders.

Columbia University agreed to the administration's demands after the withholding of federal grants totaling 400 million dollars. The Department of Education is currently investigating 60 other educational institutions.

Associated Press lost access to the White House press pool due to the use of the phrase 'Mexican Gulf.' The Federal Communications Commission has begun investigations into several media companies, including CBS for its interview with Kamala Harris. ABC News settled a lawsuit from Trump by promising 15 million dollars to the presidential fund.

Trump also dismissed inspectors general in many federal agencies, as well as the head of the Office of Government Ethics. The Office of Management and Budget closed agencies and programs established by Congress.

Republicans in Congress mostly support Trump, even as he retracts funds allocated by the legislature. Democrats, on the other hand, are struggling to remove Trump.

Federal judges remain the president's primary opponents, temporarily prohibiting the enforcement of many executive orders. These judges are also facing threats of impeachment or the elimination of courts.

'The public attack of this White House on national institutions is unprecedented,' said presidential historian Timothy Naftali.

During a speech at the White House, Trump bragged about his achievements, claiming that colleges bend to his will.
