In this candid conversation, Bulwark writer Will Saletan discusses his latest piece on Donald Trump's disturbing compulsion to attack deceased critics and opponents.

The trigger? Trump's Truth Social post rejoicing over former FBI Director Robert Mueller's death.

Will and Matt unpack the full list of "greatest hits": Attacking Gold Star parents, smearing John McCain even after his death ("I like people who weren't captured"), dismissing John Lewis and Colin Powell, and claiming Rob Reiner "died of TDS."

They also discuss:

— Why Republicans like Mike Johnson and Scott Bessent defend Trump's attacks on the dead

— Trump's attacks on his own appointees (Gorsuch and Barrett called "sickening" over tariffs), while paying off the bad guys (Michael Flynn and Ashli Babbitt settlements).

Plus:

— ICE at airports

— Transgender athletes in sports

— Social media addiction

— Robot umps in baseball

— And MUCH more!
