Summary

Michael Steele speaks with Mary L. Trump about her new book, Who Could Ever Love You: A Family Memoir. The pair discuss the darkness and generational trauma surrounding the Trump family and why Donald was chosen over Mary's father, Freddy, as the inheritor of the family business. Plus, how Kamala dominated Trump at the debates, the meaning behind some of Trump's recent rally statements and the importance of acknowledging collective trauma and the need for action in the upcoming elections.
