Lincoln Square: Trump's Vanity Presidency Is Collapsing




Premiered 18 hours ago #politics #lincolnsquare #democracy

Susan Demas and Edwin Eisendrath break down Trump’s latest humiliation at the Kennedy Center, his disastrous Iran deal, his hijacking of America’s 250th anniversary, and the growing fear that his administration will try to interfere with the midterm elections.

They also discuss why Americans are turning against Trump’s spectacle politics — and what voters must do now to protect democracy before November.
