37:42Now PlayingDonald Trump’s corruption isn’t merely opportunistic—it is systematic, extortionate, and increasingly institutionalized.
Former federal prosecutor Barb McQuade joins Steven Beschloss to dissect the criminal architecture of Trump’s presidency: coercive executive orders, obedient oligarchs, weaponized federal agencies, foreign gifts, shameless self-enrichment, and a Congress too craven to intervene. McQuade explains why Trump resembles a mob boss operating an elaborate protection racket—and reveals the democratic guardrails America must construct before presidential impunity becomes irreversible.
McQuade is the author of The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.
