Inside Trumpā€™s White House

LONG
After one of the greatest political surprises in American political history, Donald Trumpā€™s 2016 victory gave way to a controversial and consequential presidency.

We look back on the four years that were defined by staff fallouts, COVID, and an attempted insurrection. Anthony is joined by two journalists who were in the room with Trump while he was changing American politics one decision at a time.

Americast is profiling the four candidates in the race to become the next President and Vice President of the United States.
