Summary

On The Gist, if Trump weren't so repulsive, would we judge his murky dealings a little more kindly? And we don't much think about the inanimate objects in our lives, never considering the rich inner life of the lamppost, the can of Coke, or the humble pillow.

0:46.3	And it is a characteristic of the defense of Donald Trump.
0:51.2	Let's go a little broader though, because I was asking myself,
0:55.2	how dire is the Mueller investigation?
0:59.3	Meaning if Mueller proves his case, whatever his case may be,
