Summary

As Americans honour their military service people on Memorial Day, the country edges closer to another landmark, 100,000 coronavirus deaths. President Trump has been widely criticized for this handling of the pandemic, and for his behaviour over the weekend. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Michael D'Antonio, author of "The Truth About Trump", and David Urban, a member of President Trump's 2020 advisory committee. Curtis Sittenfeld talks to Christiane about her new book "Rodham", which imagines an America in which Hillary Clinton did not marry Bill and asks what Hillary Rodham might have achieved. And Hari Sreenivasan talks to Scott Galloway, professor of marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, about how the coronavirus may reshape the landscape of higher education in America, and why it might be a good time to take a gap year.
