In his new book “One Nation After Trump,” UC Berkeley political scientist Thomas Mann argues that, despite the danger President Trump poses to our free institutions, his election may be one of the best things to happen to the United States. He joins us to discuss the book (written with E.J. Dionne and Norm Ornstein), what the 2016 election says about the country and how Trump’s presidency can lead to a renewal of civic engagement.

Guests,

Thomas Mann, resident scholar, Institute of Governmental Studies, University of California, Berkeley; co-author (with E.J. Dionne and Norm Ornstein), “One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet Deported”
