Description

Donald Trump calls himself a king on social media. Is it Trolling? Yes. Is it still serious? Also, yes. Grant talks about why Trump's joke is actually a sign of a growing and public movement in the GOP to make Trump a three term president if not longer. 

Grant also talks to Distinguished Professor of Democracy Lucan May who is the co-author of a new piece in Foreign Affairs magazine about how the US will backslide into authoritarianism and how to stop it.
