Famed Pentagon Papers Whistleblower Warns Against Trump

But four years ago there were similar polls showing a lead for the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and the rest is history.

My next guest calls Trump, “a domestic enemy of the Constitution.” In an op-ed for the Metro Times in Michigan Daniel Ellsberg sounds the alarm on what he calls, “an authoritarian threat to our democratic system of a kind we’ve never seen before.”
