345: Trump Flips The Bird With Franklin Foer | Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt

James and Al sound the alarm over Trump’s authoritarian tendencies, explore the repercussions of his war on the Federal Reserve and the DOJ, and break down the political dynamics in the Senate and at the state level while investigating whether Democratic candidates are ready to meet the moment. Then, they welcome The Atlantic’s Franklin Foer to discuss the massive reductions in the federal workforce under Trump, the effects of losing their experience and expertise, the need for a functioning bureaucracy, and whether we are on the cusp of a resurgence of true patriotism.
