www.politix.fmMany people are asking: Has Donald Trump finally, completely lost his mind?
In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:
* The importance of getting your flu shot.
* Why this latest episode, complete with rambling missives to allied heads of state, feels more like madness than Trump’s other bad ideas, driven by graft, vengeance, or whatever else.
* How his assault on Minneapolis is crystalizing the madness (or at least the bad faith) for the rest of the world.
Then, what is to be done? What is Europe doing. What is Congress doing? What should Congress be doing. Is it really impossible to imagine an independent caucus removing the GOP from control of the House, Senate, or both? As Democrats vie for Senate control, are they blinding themselves to the risk that everything comes to pieces well before the election 10 months from now?
