Whiskey Rebellion 013: The Trump Doctrine

Live from the Cameo Bar:

1. Trump's missile strike on Syria marks a departure from his campaign rhetoric. Frank and David discuss why politicans run on keeping us out of war, then change their minds once in office.

2. War Powers. The President is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, but Congress has the power to declare war. David and Frank talk about this political tension.
