[REBROADCAST FROM NOVEMBER 5, 2020]President Trump has been impeached for the second time, and is now facing trial in the Senate. We revisit our conversation with Pulitzer-Prize winning book critic for The Washington Post, Carlos Lozada, who has spent those years reading just about every book written about President Donald Trump and his administration and cultural impact. He draws on over 150 recent volumes for his new book, What Were We Thinking: A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era, which includes myriad cultural observations and conclusions about the 45th president.
