Summary

If we didn't have Trump we would have to go back to watching "House of Cards" and "Scandal" for completely implausible, mind-boggling dramas about public officials with no morals and no understanding of how the U.S. government does work or should work. But we do have Trump (for a while anyway) and in this edition of Deep State Radio we discuss the state of the scandals, the president, the president's men and women and where things are headed. You won't want to miss Kori Schake, Ed Luce and David Sanger as they tell like it is while host David Rothkopf weeps quietly in a corner imagining what might have been.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
