How Trump defies all norms of presidential behavior

Episode 43 | 10m 24s

This was a week in which Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself, wearing a crown, dropping a planeload of feces on protesters. He also pardoned a convicted crypto kingpin who has worked to enrich the Trump family’s company, and he asked the DOJ to pay him millions for legal costs incurred when the government he now controls investigated him. He also seems to be going to war with Venezuela.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
