See three Ex-Trump Aides on Stopping Trump's presidency: Ari Melber interview

Three of Donald Trump's top aides speak out about why they oppose his re-election and are backing Joe Biden in this exclusive interview with MSNBC anchor Ari Melber. Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen, "The Art of the Deal" co-author Tony Schwartz and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci reflect on how Trump’s star power made them want to work with him.

That was so interesting that you shared your insights so frankly. You have each been on such a journey and so has/is America. It is ironical that a troubled person like Trump can have a kind of aura that attracts people more powerfully than does a person of greater integrity and maturity. It could partly be that he elicits fatherly feelings from some of you and also that he has celebrity status which I think is something which is much more admired in America than in Australia.
