Trump is like a dysfunctional 8-year-old whose parents are always in the principal's office arguing that their son is a good boy.

At the same time, he's empowering ideologues behind the scenes who are dismantling the government and executing their policy wet dreams.

The public has the right to know about the health of a president. Tom Nichols joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.
