‘That Should Scare the Hell Out of You’: Former Trump Official on Nuclear War Fears

“For the first time in the history of the Department of Homeland Security, we started to do exercises to prepare for the possibility that the president was going to get us into a nuclear war… That should scare the hell out of you — that your government didn't have enough control of its foreign policy.”

At Zeteo’s live event in DC, ‘One Year of Trump,’ our political correspondent Asawin Suebsaeng sat down with former Trump official turned critic Miles Taylor as he breaks down what it was like being investigated by the president, the ripple effect it’s had on his life and Trump’s reckless foreign policy.

They also discuss Taylor’s most concerning time working in Trump’s first administration, his obsession with Greenland and nuclear war.
