On today’s BradCast, at the 100 days milestone for his Presidency — which Donald Trump recently dismissed as an “artificial barrier” — Heather Digby Parton of Salon and the Hullabaloo blog, joins us to try to make sense of (wish us luck) the extraordinary chaos, few successes and many failures, to date, of his historically unpopular Administration.

All of that, as North Korea fires off another ballistic missile test today and Trump tells Reuters he thought being President of the United States “would be easier” than his old job as a real estate hustler and reality TV personality.
Digby — who also wrote recently about the 100-day mark — offers her always-enlightening insight on all of the above, explains what has, so far, surprised her most about Trump’s Presidency, and speaks to how the corporate media, Congressional Democrats and we, the people, are holding up in The Resistance.
