Michael Steele analyzes whether President Trump’s recent decisions are driven by a long-term vision for the country—or a desperate attempt to curate a legacy. From the influence of the inner circle to the shifting tides of public opinion, he's peeling back the curtain on how isolation at the top changes the future for the rest of us.
