American Amnesia with Tressie McMillan Cottom | What Now? with Trevor Noah Podcast

This week Tressie McMillan Cottom is back on the podcast. Along with Christiana we discuss Donald Trump’s Tesla infomercial at the White House, the psychology of the American voter, and why so many of us unwittingly vote for candidates whose views are actually the opposite of ours. We also explore our tendency to not appreciate what we have until it’s gone, and how that ties into America’s current war on women.
