MSNBC’s Joy Reid explains how “shock and awe” campaigns were used in the past as part of a broader strategy to consolidate power. In this video we’re going to talk about the motivation behind Trump’s “shock and awe” approach to governance and break down some of his most insidious policies that he hopes will go unnoticed.
