Trump’s ‘Shock & Awe’ Strategy is STRAIGHT Out of Hitler's Playbook

Trump has overwhelmed the federal government with hundreds of executive orders and policy changes as part of what’s been described as a “shock and awe” campaign. Steve Bannon has boasted about how effective the strategy has been. This strategy, however, was not created by Trump. 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.
