Is Trump Crazy? Would Pence Be Worse? Amy Wilentz & Jane Mayer; plus EJ Dionne: America After Trump

from Living in the USA

Amy Wilentz comments on the mental and emotional status of the president, as analyzed by 27 psychiatrists in 'The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,' a book edited by Bandy X. Lee. The book was number four on the New York Times bestseller list. Also: Would Pence be worse? Jane Mayer of The New Yorker reports—she interviewed more than 60 people in search of answers, including Pence’s mother. Several say he’s wanted to be president at least since high school. Plus: America After Trump: E.J. Dionne of The Washington Post argues that Trump has mobilized progressive political forces that can transform America—and he reminds us that Trump never had a majority of voters, and is the most unpopular presidents in our history. E.J. is co-author of 'One Nation After Trump: A Guide to the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet-Deported'--it's out now in paperback.
