Tara is joined by author Ramin Setoodeh to discuss his new book, ‘Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.’ They talk about how the mythology of Trump as a successful businessman was cultivated on ‘The Apprentice,’ analyze his state of mind after January 6, and shine a light on how Trump will use what he learned on the hit reality show to pick his new running mate.
