Trump Made an Insane Bet on a Risky War (w/ Derek Thompson) | The Bulwark Podcast

Trump doesn’t care about democracy in the US. Do you think he really cares about democracy around the rest of the world.

I think the country is dangerously close to finding out what he was doing with young girls and children

We have zero idea how many Americans died.
