Free Thoughts, Ep. 222: Trump's Assault on America's Institutions (with John Samples)
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 2018-01-19

John Samples joins us to discuss how the Trump presidency is challenging America’s Institutions. Political Institutions in America are designed to stop someone like a populist or a demagogue; someone not fit for presidency. We discuss how America’s institutions have fared with a president that refuses to follow the norms, and if we should expect more celebrity presidents.
