Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ...

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country."
