Trump's White House alteration is a signal to all: 'There is no history; I am the start of history' - Velshi - MSNBC



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 Trump'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.” - Aired on 11/01/2025.
