Public Debate: Is Trumpism Good or Bad for America?

New York Times best-selling author, AEI scholar, and editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, Jonah Goldberg was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to talk about tribalism and how it undermines American political institutions. Bringing his trademark wit, Jonah explored the question: “What’s Tearing America Apart?” This event was free and open to the public thanks to the generous support of the Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy, the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership, and Young America’s Foundation.

The video recording of the public debate is available here.
