The Bulwark Podcast

Jeffrey Goldberg: Trump Doesn't Believe in America

The former president doesn't think our country is exceptional, and the political press won't hold him to any standard because it has zero expectations of him. Plus, Lindsey Graham is an empty shell, John Kelly was nearly driven mad working for Trump, and JD Vance can't stop spinning conspiracies.  
 
Jeffrey Goldberg joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.
