COVER STORY: How historians view Trump – and how Trump sees himself
A panel of historians is releasing its third collection of essays analyzing and assessing the accomplishments and failures of a presidential administration. But for the first time, a former president, Donald Trump, spoke to the historians to offer his own take on his time in office. Correspondent Rita Braver talks with Princeton University’s Julian Zelizer, who assembled the panel, and with the academics who unpack history’s first judgment of the 45th president.

MUSIC: Sonny Curtis on a career spanning Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore
