YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On the world stage, US President Trump casts himself as a peacemaker - most recently by rolling out the red carpet for Russia’s President Putin. But at home, he’s showing ever more autocratic tendencies.

At the same time, he and his party are redrawing electoral districts to lock in power, while critics face mounting pressure or dismissal.

On To the Point we ask: Peace abroad, troops at home: Is Trump flirting with dictatorship?
