Donald Trump's anticipated return to the presidency is poised to reshape the U.S. government's legal stance on significant Supreme Court cases. One high-profile case involves Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.

Legal experts suggest that Trump’s administration could shift positions on issues such as ghost guns, nuclear waste storage, and flavored vape products. Such changes are expected to align closely with the Supreme Court's conservative majority.

This potential policy reversal is typical in U.S. democracy when power shifts between parties. As per legal scholars, the new administration could also impact shareholder lawsuits and regulatory agency roles, signaling a less regulatory approach overall.
