Friction in the era of President Trump isn’t a modern problem – it’s built into the design of our constitutional system of checks and balances. Historian Don Fraser returns to Insight to talk about his latest article on History News Network, “Trump vs. Madison. Madison is winning.” Don Fraser last appeared on Insight in February 2016 to talk about partisanship among the founders of the United States and his book “The Emergence of One American Nation” and the 2016 campaign.
