Now this is how you interview a member of the most corrupt administration in U.S. history

Back in December of 2016, I attended a panel at the University of Michigan called Covering Trump: The Presidency and The Press in Turbulent Times.

Trump, hiding from Michelle Wolf in Michigan, promises to “close down the country” if he doesn’t get his ridiculous, racist wall
