YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Many have accused President Trump of trying to scapegoat immigrants and refugees in order to distract the American public from the fact that he will be unable to fulfill his campaign promises to bring back manufacturing jobs. But what happens if, after time, the scapegoating fails to provide sufficient distraction? Worldrenowned linguist, political dissident and author Noam Chomsky says the next step would be for the Trump administration to stage an alleged terrorist attack. For more, we speak with Chomsky. His new book, "Requiem for the American Dream," is out today.
