America’s Twitter-bomber-in-chief has caused plenty of mayhem during his wild ride through the first half year in the presidency, but he hasn’t really been tested by a crisis. On this episode, guests Rosa Brooks, Kori Shake and David Sanger discuss what clues deep staters might have gleaned about how the big guy might handle a terrorist attack or an international incident. They also consider just how long lasting the damage of the Trump tenure might be to America’s standing. Which leads them right back to wondering about where to find a good used nuclear missile silo…and to a discussion of Kori’s sparkling Tiara of Optimism.
