How Trump Won the White House: Collusion, Collapse, and Chaos (Ep 3)

Meanwhile, Hillary had collapsed at the 9/11 memorial and called half of Trump’s supporters ‘deplorables’. Then came...

How did they help him formulate his strategy? And how was Hillary Clinton shaping up to challenge him after her bruis...
