Michael is joined by political analyst Mark Halperin for a candid conversation about Trump's growing fortune, whether any meaningful guardrails still exist on the presidency, and why so many Americans seem unfazed by allegations of self-enrichment in office. They also examine whether Trump's actions represent an unprecedented break from tradition—or simply an aggressive use of powers previous presidents chose not to exercise.
