Jon Meacham: Trump Introduced a Virus Into Democracy - Amanpour and Company PBS



An exhibit featuring people enslaved by George Washington must be restored to its original place. This is the ruling of a federal judge after the Trump administration had the display removed from Philadelphia's National Historical Park last month.

Renowned presidential historian Jon Meacham argues that the move was part of the administration's campaign to sanitize America's history. Meacham’s new book, “American Struggle,” takes us back to critical moments in American history in which disagreements over the meaning and direction of American society were in focus. Meacham joins Walter Isaacson. - Originally aired on February 18, 2026.
