Trump’s White House alteration is a signal to all: ‘There is no history; I am the start of history’

Video Description

Professor Jason Stanley sees a signal for all in the deliberate destruction of historical sections of the White House that underscores the president’s authoritarian ambitions: “Trump is signaling there is no history; I am the start of history.” Stanley also breaks down how the president's open threats and brazen power grabs are intentionally designed to make Americans feel helpless and urges the opposite from Americans: “We have to be as loud as possible in this moment," Stanley says. "We have an enormous chill in the United States on speech. Now, that chill is something you have to resist.” For more context and news coverage of the most important stories of our day click here: https://www.msnbc.com/ » Subscribe to MSNBC: https://www.youtube.com/msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/msnbc Download our new MSNBC app for the latest breaking news and daily headlines at a glance: https://www.msnbc.com/information/download-msnbc-app-n1241692 Follow MSNBC Show Blogs MaddowBlog: https://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog MSNBC delivers breaking news, in-depth analysis of political headlines, commentary and informed perspectives.
