President Trump is back in the White House, claiming he feels better than he has in twenty years. But messaging from his doctors has sown doubts about the upbeat assessment.

Edward Luce is U.S. national editor and columnist at the Financial Times and author of the book “The Retreat of Western Liberalism.”
Diane spoke to him Tuesday morning about Trump’s diagnosis, what comes next and the political fallout.
