Trump's Insurrection: The Collapse of His Presidency (Ep 1)

At the start of 2020, Donald Trump would have been fairly confident
of his reelection. The economy was strong, unemployment and
inflation were low, and his approval rating was as high as it had
ever been. Then it all fell apart. As he struggled to deal first
with the Covid-19 pandemic and then the BLM protests, Donald
Trump’s approval ratings collapsed. Going into election night it
seemed certain that Joe Biden would win. Whilst he did so, things
were far closer than expected and when Donald Trump went out at
2:30am to claim victory, American democracy entered a shaky period.
