Trump BUSTED in bogus ballroom claim by Obama era secret
About this episode
Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's shameful dedication to deporting immigrants has led him to betray Afghans who helped the U.S. military in Afghanistan and were promised protection in the U.S., leaving it to individual service members to push back against his disgrace. Trump is also betraying the Iranians he continues to claim he is helping with his war on Iran, shaming the United States with his dishonor.
Maggie Mullen, reporter for Wyofile.com, talks with Rachel about the strong resistance in Wyoming to Donald Trump's efforts to interfere in their elections, despite Wyoming being very Republican and more supportive of Trump than any other state, according to polls.
Rachel Maddow explains how a secret bomb shelter installed under the White House during the Obama administration undercuts Donald Trump's legal claim that he needs his ballroom constructed because it will include a necessary bomb shelter for the White House. Rachel is joined by Greg Werkheiser, co-founder of Cultural Heritage Partners, to discuss a coalition of organizations working to protect Washington cultural and historic landmarks from Trump's reckless vanity projects.
