President Trump has said repeatedly, publicly and privately, that he doesn't want to be compared in the history books to former President Herbert Hoover, who led the country during the economic collapse of the Great Depression. We discuss how Trump's concerns about his legacy shape the president’s actions, from the war in Iran to construction projects in Washington, D.C. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
