VIDEO (at the link) Malcolm Gladwell probes sexism and elitism in the U.S. presidential election

As a journalist for the New Yorker, English-born Canadian writer Malcolm Gladwell doesn't need to be encouraged to speak up.

Ask him about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, however, and you'll be hard-pressed to get him to stop.

"I think he will be in jail within a year," he told The National's Wendy Mesley in an interview.

Gladwell believes the candidate's charitable donations and Trump University fraud case will be sources for legal headaches.

"I mean, he's got so many legal problems, I suspect he will spend the next few years huddled with his lawyers," he said.
