INDISTINCT QUIET CHATTER

Father, we just thank you for President Trump. Yes.

Lord, if you raise them up for this hour,

give America one last-minute reprieve,

and we thank you and we're going to see another great

spiritual awakening. Thank you, Jesus.

Lord, you would surround him with your fire, your anointing. Yes.

Speak to them even in the night hours. Yes. Yes.

Lord, they are steps ahead of the enemy.

I pray total confusion in the camp of the wicked. Yes.

America is rising up. Yes. Thank you, Jesus.

Your anointing is upon our president.

...supernatural way... Amen.

APPLAUSE

One day, if someone were to make a movie of your life,

who would you see playing yourself?

Maybe, uh, maybe myself.

CROWD MEMBER: We love you, Trump! TRUMP: I love you, too.

CHEERING

Tremendously entertaining. The guy knows how to put on a show.

REPORTERS CLAMOUR

Welcome back to the studio.

MUSIC: God's Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash

# You can run on for a long time

# Run on for a long time

# Run on for a long time

# Sooner or later God'll cut you down

# Sooner or later God'll cut you down... #

Hello, America. Hello.

The First Lady and I wish each and every one of you

a happy Fourth ofjuly.

CHEERING

# Go and tell that midnight rider

# Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

# Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

# Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down. #

The Senate, they'd like to get my financial statement.

At some point, I hope they get it. You going to turn it over?

No, at some point... I might.

But at some point, I hope they get it

COUGHING IN BACKGROUND ..cos it's a fantastic financial statement.

It's a fantastic financial statement.

And... Let's do that over, he's coughing in the middle of my answer.

Yeah, OK. I don't like that. You know? Your Chief of Staff.

If you're going to cough, please leave the room.

Yeah, hi, um, I'm Mick Mulvaney.

I was the third Chief of Staff.

I had walked into the Oval Office in the middle of the interview, um,

and I coughed.

You just can't. Just to change the shot. Sorry, Mr Trump.

OK, do you want to do that a little differently, then?

Yeah, we just changed the angle. Yep. Thank you.

So, at some point...

So, at some point, I look forward to... Frankly, I want...

I'd like to have people see my financial statement.

VOICEOVER:

The president called me in and he said,

"Look, Mick, why don't you come in?" So when I took over I said,

"Look, you're never going to change the president being who he is."

I believe the book was called A First-Rate Madness.

It's a fascinating book, and I just saw it on television sometime

and it's about how different types of people

of an atypical personality often rise to leadership positions,

and they can be extraordinarily successful presidents.

Well, Greenland, I don't know, it got released somehow,

it's just something we talked about. Denmark essentially owns it.

We're very good allies with Denmark,

we protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world,

so the concept came up, and I said certainly I'd be...

Strategically, it's interesting.

People were like, "What? What's he talking about?"

What...what... Who's been talking about this? The answer was no-one.

Alabama could even be in for

at least some very strong winds and something more than that,

it could be, so for Alabama, just please be careful also.

In all of the states that are on the path of Dorian,

obviously the hurricane remains at category two...

This is the original path that we thought.

You see, it was going to hit not only Florida but Georgia,

it could have... It was going towards the Gulf,

that was what we... What was originally projected.

It is being called - I'm sorry - Sharpie Gate.

A cone annexe, of sorts.

A protuberance, an appendage

added on to include Alabama.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I was put here to do a great job, and that's what I'm doing,

and nobody's done a job like I've done it. I am the chosen one.

I genuinely don't know whether Donald Trump

entered the American political arena

with a messianic complex.

But the president became convinced that he alone

could see things for what they really were.

There was no real check and balance on the president's behaviour.

He is unquestioned, he is...infallible.

MUSIC: Requiem in D minor, K. 626 by Mozart

Trump was very focused on the 2020 election.

But the 2018 mid-term election scared his pants off.

And he was suddenly staring down the possibility that he wasn't

going to be re-elected,

and the Democrat that he was most afraid of at the time was Joe Biden.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is the guy that's unhinged, he is unhinged.

This guy, like all bullies, is a coward,

he does not want to run against me.

So he immediately began to try to determine how he could smear Biden

and Biden's reputation prior to the 2020 election.

Er, and he landed on the Ukraine.

Trump is upstairs in the White House...

...picking up the phone to talk to Ukrainian president,

and in the Ukraine they're waiting for the call to come through.

Congress had appropriated a chunk of money

as military aid for Ukraine,

and Trump asked the president to do him a political favour.

He said, "All you have to do is announce that

"you're looking into the Bidens and you'll get your aid."

The whistle-blower complaint accuses the White House

of participating in what some are calling a cover-up.

The whistle-blower's allegations are dramatic,

claiming the President of the United States is using the power

of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country

in the 2020 US election.

I think it's ridiculous, it's a witch hunt, this has never happened

to a president before, there's never been a thing like this before.

It's nonsense.

We had a very good conversation with the Ukrainian president,

the conversation was...was perfect.

They tried to take that conversation and make it into a big scandal.

The problem was...

A whistle-blower wrote a false narrative of the conversation.

This about right? About where I was? Yeah.

Rudy Giuliani is fighting back.

It comes in the wake of the now-infamous call

between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky.

In that call, Giuliani's name comes up repeatedly

as Trump asks for foreign help investigating Democrat Joe Biden.

Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?

No. Actually, I didn't,

I asked the Ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was

interference in the election 0f 2016...

You never asked anything about Hunter Biden?

You never asked anything about Joe Biden?

The only thing I asked aboutjoe Biden

is to get to the bottom of...

So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden?

Of course I did! You just said you didn't!

First of all, I didn't investigate Biden. I was investigating

the allegations that Biden was involved in a major bribery scheme.

So I had to investigate it.

I can use it to defend the president.

They said Trump is pressuring the President of the Ukraine.

What was he asking him to do?

He was asking him to investigate serious allegations of crime.

He didn't threaten him.

The Democrats are going after the president for a - I consider -

perfect conversation, at best a marginal conversation,

so you've got to look at that as just complete phoney.

And because their Trump derangement syndrome

is so bad, they reduce themselves to idiotic theories.

Erm, now getting on to the business at hand,

I understand it's been a fairly slow news week.

LAUGHTER

President Trump is not a big fan of foreign aid -

never has been, still isn't.

Did he also mention to me in the past the investigation?

Absolutely, no question about that.

Er, but that's it, and that's why we held up the money.

Now, there was a report...

Yeah.

We do... We do that all the time with foreign policy.

We were holding up money...

I have news for everybody. Get over it.

There's going to be political influence in foreign policy...

REPORTER INTERRUPTS I'm talking, Mr Karl.

The latest bombshell came from acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney

admitting there was indeed a quid pro quo to pressure Ukraine.

Mulvaney's words, which he later took back,

directly contradicted what the president has been saying for weeks.

There was no quid pro quo. There was no quid pro quo.

There was no quid pro quo.

When you talk for a living,

invariably you're going to say something wrong.

And that one day, I got it wrong.

But it didn't change the merits or the substance.

Everything we did was a 100% legal.

Good afternoon.

Last Tuesday, we observed the anniversary

of the adoption of the Constitution.

Shortly thereafter, press reports began to break of a phone call

by the President of the United States

calling upon a foreign power

to intervene in his election.

Therefore, today I'm announcing the House of Representatives is

moving forward with an official impeachment enquiry.

The president must be held accountable.

No-one is above the law.

If this goes to impeachment,

the Senate will vote to either convict

or acquit the president.

If two thirds of the Senate vote to convict him,

the president will be removed from office.

Wherever I go, God rules.

When I walk on White House grounds, God walks on White House grounds.

I have every right and authority to declare the White House

as holy ground because I was standing there

and where I stand is holy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Paula White, President Trump's televangelist spiritual advisor,

is the latest addition to the White House staff.

It's been an honour...

What's your name, sir? Pastor Mark Burns.

Where you from, Mark? South Carolina.

The great state of South Carolina.

We need a strong leader that's going to, you know, stand for

the rights of Christians, the rights of Americans, create jobs...

VOICEOVER: I met Donald Trump back in 2015.

I was invited to come to a private meeting

of about 20-25

of America's top evangelical leaders.

Thank you all so much, I'm looking forward to it, thank you all.

As I was about to walk into Trump Towers that very first day,

I remember hearing a voice that said,

"Something special is going to happen."

Donald Trump walks in with his Bible

and he began to say things like,

"l believe Christianity is under attack."

Has he delivered? Absolutely! Oh, my God, has he delivered?

Yes, he's delivered.

Donald Trump has placed two Supreme Court conservative justices

on the nation's highest bench.

Before that, we're swinging way left.

Number two, - he's pushing for prayer back into schools.

The president also made it very clear that transgenders

don't have a place in the military.

We have an advocate,

we have someone in the White House that's going to speak for us.

Committee will come to order.

Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give

is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

so help you God?

As the impeachment process was going on,

we know the enemy is up to no good,

and so therefore we have to pray.

We're in the Oval Office,

and I'm right behind President Trump

and we are laying hands.

Father, we just thank you for President Trump. Thank you, Jesus.

Lord, if you raise them up for this hour,

give America one last-minute reprieve

and we thank you that we're going to see...

Several times have we done this,

and we have told him that he is the chosen one

to be the leader of the United States of America

in this time.

Was there a quid pro quo?

The answer is yes.

I was holding video conference calls

where we had 50 to 60,000 people that were joining in,

offering their prayers for Donald Trump

in the midst of this impeachment trial,

creating a forcefield around him.

So you're acknowledging Ukraine very much felt pressured

to undertake these investigations?

You felt the power of God inside the Oval Office.

I believe the Democrats are tearing this country apart.

When Jesus was falsely accused of treason,

Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus

than the Democrats have afforded this president.

The president did nothing wrong in this issue.

It's a sham, a witch hunt and it's tantamount to a coup.

I see coming up a president who will put his hand down

even through this sham impeachment and he will do his job,

he will put the American people first.

As a lifelong Republican,

it was devastating to see how the president

had gotten such a vice-like grip on the Republican Party,

so much so that members of Congress,

who in private will say,

"l think the president is crazy,"

but in public are too afraid to go against him.

Cos the president likes to use lots of little dog whistles.

So if someone speaks out against him, he likes to say,

wink and a nod, "Maybe my Trump trolls should go after them."

So, people actually feel afraid for their security

and their safety if they criticise the president.

Two thirds of the senators present not having pronounced him guilty,

the Senate adjudges that the respondent, Donald John Trump,

President of the United States,

is not guilty as charged

and he is hereby acquitted of the charges in said articles.

CHEERING

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

We've all been through a lot together,

and we probably deserve that hand for all of us

because it's been a very unfair situation.

Did nothing wrong. Did nothing wrong.

I've done things wrong in my life, I will admit. LAUGHTER

Not purposefully, but I've done things wrong.

But this is what the end result is.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You can take that home, honey, maybe we'll frame it.

LAUGHTER

It's the only good headline I've ever had

in the Washington Post.

LAUGHTER

It was all...bullshit.

Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much.

MUSIC: All I D0 Is Win by DJ Khaled feat. Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain & Snoop Dogg

# All I do is win, win, win, no matter what

# Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

# And every time I step up in the building, everybody's hands go up! #

You could just see how happy he was.

# And they stay there, and they stay there

# And they stay there

# Up, down, up, down

# Cos all I do is win, win, win

# And if you're going in, put your hands in the air

# Make them stay there

Members of Congress,

three years ago, we launched the great American comeback.

Confidence is surging

and our country is highly respected again.

CHEERING

# All I do is win, win, win, no matter what

# Got money on my mind, I can never have enough... #

But everybody knew that, really, the trial was still out.

The real trial is election day, November 2020.

And, my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come.

Thank you, God bless you

and God bless America. Thank you very much.

CHEERING

2020 is shaping up to be

a really good year for the president.

He's acquitted from the impeachment trial and the economy's strong,

but suddenly all of that changes virtually overnight.

The CDC said yesterday that they believe it's inevitable

that the virus will spread in the United States

and it's not a question of if but when.

Do you agree with that assessment? Well, I don't think it's inevitable,

it probably will, it possibly will.

It could be at a very small level or could be at a larger level.

Whatever happens, we're totally prepared.

Back now with breaking news on the latest strain of coronavirus.

We're getting word just now that Rhode Island

has its first presumptive case of the virus.

Officials there say the patient is in the hospital.

They're reaching out to people who have been in contact

with this patient who recently returned from Italy.

The American health industry knew that Covid-19 was coming,

but the president did not take it seriously.

We're... We have a very small number of people in the country

right now with it, it's like around 12.

Many of them are getting better, some are fully recovered already.

He is downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to a dangerous degree.

It's going to disappear one day,

it's like a miracle, it will disappear.

The second US fatality was a man from a nursing facility

near Seattle. Researchers say the virus may have been circulating

for weeks undetected in Washington State.

We know he was amply warned.

He chose not to take action.

You know, it would have been a crisis that would have been

difficult for any president to manage.

But it was especially difficult for Trump

because he lives with this magical thinking that anything

that's in opposition to him, he can eventually overcome.

The message we've chosen today

was delivered on January 25th, 1987.

It is entitled Positive Thinking Works Wonders.

Here is Dr Norman Vincent Peale.

Donald Trump, for decades, has been obsessed with a book called

The Power Of Positive Thinking,

written by self-help guru Norman Vincent Peale.

And this has been, in many ways,

Trump's road map to life.

You know, the greatest speaker I think I've ever witnessed

was Dr Norman Vincent Peale.

He'd talk about success stories and people that were successful,

and you hated to leave church cos you wanted him to go on further.

There was a real family relationship there.

In fact, they grew so close that Peale wound up

officiating Donald Trump's first wedding.

And a key precept of that book is

essentially if you believe that nothing bad is happening to you,

then nothing bad is happening to you.

That is so central to understanding the Trump psyche.

One of my people came up to me and said,

"Mr President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.

"That didn't work out too well.

"They couldn't do it.

"They tried the impeachment hoax.

"That was on a perfect conversation."

BOOING

"They tried anything, they tried it over and over,

"they've been doing it since you got in. It's all turning.

"They lost. It's all turning. Think of it. Think of it.

"And this is their new hoax."

Another unfortunate milestone as the US overtakes China

as the country with the most number of confirmed cases

of the coronavirus.

Medical staff across the country have been warning of dire shortages

of protective equipment.

Well, this is a war zone.

We're trying to keep our head above water and not drown.

The Department of Homeland Security,

we had written the playbook on how to handle a nationwide pandemic.

We built this very elaborate system

to lead every single piece of the response,

from health to security to safety,

so that the US government will be able to spring into action

like that and protect the American people.

We've already got the biggest epidemic on Earth,

more than 7,000 people dead.

There's now a Navy hospital ship docked in the Hudson River,

another 1,000 beds.

Those playbooks were on the shelf in 2019 at the end of the year.

The president threw out the playbook on day one.

Our country wasn't built to be shut down.

Ultimately the goal is to ease the guidelines

and open things up to very large sections of our country

as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy.

America will again be open for business.

I said earlier today that I hope we can do this by Easter.

I think that would be a great thing for our country...

Mr President, you just reiterated

that you hoped to have the country reopened by Easter.

My question is - you have two doctors on stage with you -

have either of them told you that's a realistic timeline?

I think we're looking at a timeline,

we're discussing it, we had a very good meeting today.

You suggested Easter. Who suggested that?

I just thought it was a beautiful time, a beautiful time,

a beautiful timeline.

Donald Trump's always looked down on expertise.

Fauci embodied a number of problems for Trump.

Would you prefer a 14-day just sort of national shut down

to slow this down?

He wasn't willing to completely toe the line

and say whatever Trump wanted him to say.

Fauci gave factual, practical information

that the American public could act on.

Dr Fauci, it was explained yesterday,

there has been some promise with hydroxychloroquine,

this potential therapy for people who are infected with coronavirus.

Is there any evidence to suggest that, as with malaria,

it might be used as a prophylaxis against Covid-19?

REPORTERS CLAMOUR

I think, uh...

Without seeing too much,

I'm probably more of a fan of that than...

...maybe than anybody. I feel good about it.

That's all it is, just a feeling, you know, I'm a smart guy.

REPORTERS TALK OVER EACH OTHER

ls it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things

may be giving Americans a false sense of hope? No, I don't think so.

What do you say to Americans

who are watching you right now who are scared?

Er, I say that you're a terrible reporter, that's what I say.

Go ahead. I think that's a very nasty question

and I think it's a very bad signal that you're putting out

to the American people. Let's see if it works.

It might and it might not. I happen to feel good about it,

but who knows? I've been right a lot.

VOICEOVER: As it becomes clear that this not something

that's just going to go away,

the president finds that there's no amount of Norman Vincent Peale

that can assuage the doubt that is beginning to wash over him.

You can see it in his face, you can hear it in his voice

as he begins to lash out at anyone and everyone.

Your second question was? I couldn't hear you.

Can you take it up? Because I cannot hear you? l'lljust speaker louder, sir. OK, good, you want to be

politically correct, go ahead. No, sir, I just want to wear the mask. Go ahead, go ahead.

Hi, everyone. I work for Costco

and I'm asking this member to put on a mask

cos that is our company policy. So either wear the mask...

And I'm not doing it cos I woke up in a free country.

Pigs! Democratic pigs, all of you.

That man harassed me for not wearing a mask!

Back off! Back off! You need to leave.

In Jesus Christ's mighty name!

No!

Get off this aisle! You are a demon!

VOICEOVER: He has encouraged divisiveness to a remarkable degree.

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

It is not the law!

It's not law. It is the law. It's not a law, it is an order.

He tells Americans that they should liberate themselves

from the stay-at-home orders that his own administration advocated.

He tells Americans that they really don't have to wear masks,

even as his government is telling them that they should.

It's breath-taking.

He had the opportunity to be a war-time president,

but a war-time president leads.

And what the president didn't do was lead.

Instead, much of the response devolved into political infighting

and personal attacks.

I can't imagine if, during World War ll, Winston Churchill

went on TV and said,

"My generals are shit, I don't believe them, I don't trust anyone,

"and also by the way, Britons, next time there's an air raid,

"feel free to go to the market,

"don't worry about it, you'll be fine."

Well, I think, I mean, I think he handled it very well.

I don't really know how it is that he didn't handle it correctly.

In our country, the president doesn't run hospitals, right?

The federal government can put out general guidelines,

and then the states have to interpret it.

It was clearly being spread by China.

As Americans, we should agree that we were victimised by China.

Maybe they wanted... Maybe they wanted to impeach him

for inventing the virus or something. Who knows?

Thank you very much.

So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, uh,

whether it's ultraviolet, or just very powerful light,

and I think you said that hasn't been checked,

but you're going to test it.

And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body,

which you can do, either through the skin or...

...in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too.

Sounds interesting. Right? And then I see the disinfectant

where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute.

And is there a way we can do something like that?

Erm, by injection inside

or almost a cleaning. Cos you see, it gets in the lungs

and it does a tremendous number on the lungs,

so it'd be interesting to check that,

so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with,

but it sounds... It sounds interesting to me.

And today, we are expecting to cross that 100,000 threshold,

100,000 Americans to have lost their lives.

VOICE FADES OUT, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

We must utilise our nation's scientific brilliance

to vanquish the "viwus".

The...coron-ah-virus treatment accelerator programme,

which ismexpediting the development

of new anti-ri...anti-viral and other therapies,

and they're doing it on a very rapid basis.

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS OVER SPEECH

I can't breathe! Please, your knee on my neck.

I can't breathe, shit.

Well, get up and get in the car, man! I will.

Get up and get in the car. Mama!

You're still on him!

We're all covering the Covid-19 crisis.

We're all covering any other matter of breaking news that's happening.

And then there's word of this...death.

And my wife and other people said, "Have you seen this video?"

You saw a man...

...pleading for his life.

And it shocked the country, the conscience of the nation.

People of all races, different ages, saying,

"That's not the America that we want."

CROWD SHOUTS

CROWD CHANTS: I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

Say his name! George Floyd! Say his name! George Floyd!

This is 400 years we have been dealing with systemic racism.

It has to be a systemic change.

CROWD CHANTS: Throw him out! Throw him out! Throw him out!

Throw him out! Throw him out!

When the president looks out his windows at the White House

and sees a crowd that is swelling bigger and bigger,

he does not like the imagery of that...

...that the White House is surrounded by people chanting

and holding signs and marching

in a way that is a rebuke,

in some sense, of his own administration.

Things were looking bad for Donald Trump.

The polls showed Joe Biden with a huge lead,

some of them a double-digit lead.

The vast majority of the protests were peaceful,

but there were violent actors,

and Trump figures he could latch onto that.

That gave Donald Trump something he could campaign on -

law and order.

In recent days, our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists,

violent mobs, arsonists, looters, criminals, rioters.

As we speak, I am dispatching thousands and thousands

of heavily armed soldiers and law enforcement officers

to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults

and the wanton destruction of property.

CROWD SHOUTS

We've just had to run about a block as police moved in.

We've been fired at with rubber bullets,

my cameraman has been hit. Er, we've also seen tear gas being used.

Here we go, they're moving through again.

This is exactly what it looks like, exactly what it looks like...

Whoa! Amelia, can you hear us? Amelia, are you OK?

That is peaceful protesting.

And, you know, we're going to back up a little bit.

Our producer got hit! All right, all right.

CROWD CHANTS: Black lives matter!

Black lives matter!

Black lives matter! Black lives matter!

I was a staff priest at St John's Lafayette Square

right across the street from the White House.

I had worked at Stjohn's for two years.

The whole patio of St John's Lafayette Square

was really this little meeting space.

It was upbeat and hopeful.

You know? just this huge diversity of humanity coming together.

It was a safe space.

But suddenly the whole mood changed.

Everyone, forward!

CANISTERS EXPLODE

I suddenly saw people running from the park.

SHOUTING Move back now! Move back!

And there was a wall of police

driving people off of the patio of the church.

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK, SIRENS WAIL

It's a Bible.

Holding up the Bible in that space

was also a gesture towards this experience of Christianity

that is so foreign from my own,

this dangerous Christian nationalism that...

...worships power...

...that sees this president as chosen by God.

SIRENS IN DISTANCE

It has always been dangerous to marry religious fervour

with political power.

And...so offensive.

It's just sacrilege

to hold up these sacred scriptures

when you had just driven people away with violence.

OK, thank you very much. We have the greatest country in the world.

Thank you very much, everybody. Keep it nice and safe.

Just hold it. Guys, guys, hold right here. Hold right here.

Well, I think he responded to it perfectly.

Black Lives Matter, it's a completely Marxist,

hateful, hate white people,

socialist organisation that wants to take over our government

and make it into a socialist government.

They don't care. This is all about socialism.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

From the moment I left my former life behind -

and it was a good life... LAUGHTER

...l have done nothing but fight for you.

I did what our political establishment never expected

and could never forgive,

breaking the cardinal rule of Washington politics.

I kept my promise.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Donald Trump as president

has attacked and undermined the American intelligence community.

Has undermined the American law enforcement community.

Has undermined the judicial system.

When you make it your mission as president

to demolish all of these other institutions of American life,

then you can't be surprised

when you find the country racked with turmoil and upheaval,

and that's where we are today.

# The baffled king composing Hallelujah

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah... #

No justice! No justice!

Fall back!

ALARM WAILS

Vehicles lined up in their hundreds to form a pro-Trump caravan.

Police responded to violent scenes ending in a deadly shooting.

GUNSHOTS

People might have thought

that electing someone who was a businessman

would have been something of an experiment.

NO AUDIO

If you weren't that happy with how politics had been going before,

"Let's try something new."

How do I think it's played out?

SHE SCOFFS Um...

Donald Trump is a star.
