Jeet Heer, a staff writer for The Nation, and Jonathan Alter, author of American Reckoning, dive into Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior and his legal troubles. They draw parallels between Trump and Richard Nixon while examining his economic views and unusual public appearances. The discussion also touches on the pervasive themes of division and unity in today's political climate, the dangers of hidden authoritarianism, and the critical importance of active civic engagement in preserving democracy.
