On this episode of the Fighting Matters Podcast, Stephan Kesting, Jesse Walker, Jeff Shaw, and Steve Kwan examine how the recent insane actions of Donald Trump represent the normalization of extreme behavior in society and politics. What sort of example does it set when political leaders behave in a way detached from morality and accountability? We also look at the role of martial arts teachers for modeling and teaching core values
