Show notes

Senator Bob Corker, the Republican head of the Foreign Relations Committee, was asked on Tuesday if President Trump was a role model for American children. "Absolutely not," he replied. A few hours later, another Republican senator, Jeff Flake of Arizona, denounced the president. Congressional Republicans seem to be revolting against Mr. Trump. But is that what is really happening? Also, Xi Jinping, the leader of China, is consolidating his power. Guests: Glenn Thrush, a White House correspondent; Chris Buckley, a reporter for The Times in China.
