Jim Sciutto discusses his book The Madman Theory: Trump Takes On the World. - a podcast by Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

Richard Nixon tried it first. Hoping to make communist bloc countries uneasy and thus unstable, Nixon let them think he was just crazy enough to nuke them. He called this the madman theory. Nearly half a century later, President Trump has employed his own madman theory, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. Through interviews with current and former Trump administration officials, CNN chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto’s book “The Madman Theory: Trump Takes On the World” is the first comprehensive portrait of the impact of the President’s erratic foreign policy as told from the inside. Join us for a look at Donald Trump’s legacy around the globe in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
