No recent administration has been so intensely scrutinized as that of President Donald Trump. “Insiders,” media, and Congressional hearings attempt to interpret what happened behind the scenes at the Trump White House. Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, and Susan Glasser, staff writer at The New Yorker and founder/editor at Politico, offer their front-row perspective in "The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021" based on sources including President Trump himself. Join us for this timely conversation with these historians as the former President considers a 2024 reprise of his political campaign.
