Frank Bruni on Trump, Weaponizing American Pessimism & “The Age of Grievance”

Season 2024 Episode 6228 | 18m 10s

Today Trump takes a day off from the courtroom to hit the campaign trail, where he will no doubt air his many grievances about his criminal trial. New York Times columnist Frank Bruni says we're living in "The Age of Grievance." He joins Michel Martin to discuss his latest book, which makes the case that grievance has come to define American politics on both the right and the left.
