Historian Douglas Brinkley joins Jim Acosta to expose the breathtaking audacity of Donald Trump’s latest actions, breaking down a shocking pattern of self-enrichment and vanity projects that have "few precedents in American history."From the controversial billion-dollar Kazakhstan mining deal involving Trump’s sons to the petulant legal fight over renaming the Kennedy Center, Brinkley pulls back the curtain on what he calls a "deranged" attempt to rewrite American exceptionalism and bypass established preservation laws. Why is Trump so furious about these revelations coming to light in broad daylight? Watch the full breakdown to see the historical context you won't get anywhere else.
