On the eve of Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska, both sides seem to be downplaying expectations - so what does a victory look like for the Trump White House? Plus - as Trump's takeover of Washington D.C. takes shape, he and his allies are ramping up talk of expanding it and rolling it out to other major cities. Vaughn Hillyard, Sam Stein, and Dave Weigel join Stephanie Ruhle on The 11th Hour. - Aired on 08/14/2025.

Trump would be DISQUALIFIED on that count alone, since he has destroyed all government actions on the climate. Hell, he has turned off weather research satellites!!

Trump is totally delusional that he can even be considered.
