Royal fanfare, hard truths: Ben Rhodes on America’s future
Donald Trump’s visit to Britain this past week came with royal pageantry, but the cautionary tale is what lies outside the palace gates. Ben Rhodes joins to explain why the American Dream feels “stale,” how inequality fuels identity appeals, and what it takes to reclaim the American Dream. Democratic leadership, he says, must be about “rebuilding the system” and removing barriers that keep doors closed for ordinary Americans. Trump is ultimately a story of distraction, he says, noting that “the oldest trick in the book” is to keep the working class angry at a scary “other” while doing nothing to fix their problems.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "We are quickly turning into a banana republic. POTUS is employing the full power of the federal government—the FCC, the DOJ—in order to punish, lock up, take down off the air all of his political enemies. This is what happens in Iran, Cuba, and China."
