Echoes Of 1930s Germany In Trump’s Second Term | Chuck Todd Politics Podcast

Описание: Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to give a history lesson on the Reichstag fire and how Hitler was able to turn Germany’s democracy into a dictatorship through the use of emergency powers granted by the legislature and an elite class that believed they could control him. He draws parallels between Germany’s transition from democracy to autocracy with several events in Donald Trump’s second term.
