Sharon McMahon: Are We Seeing a 'Dictator Playbook' in Action?

Sharon McMahon, known as "America’s Government Teacher," joins The Jim Acosta Show to analyze recent political rhetoric against historical patterns. The discussion focuses on breaking down the "dictator playbook" and examining the structural guardrails of American democracy. McMahon says Trump's story that vandals slashed 250 feet of paint off the Reflecting Pool defies basic logic — while a three-time Olympian was detained for hours for picking up a floating chip of paint. She also weighs in on the Senate's 50-48 War Powers vote on Iran and why she says Trump's "no limits to my power" posture is a confession, not a boast.
