Deutsche Welle English documentary on the decades leading up to the Republican Party to embrace Trumpism: (1)
From FRANCE 24 English on US allies and the Trump II Administration: (2)
One caution: One of the panel members in that segment is Craig Copetas, identified as a “European Correspondent at [rightwing] Newsmax (!!!). Although what he says doesn’t sound as Trump-sycophantic as one would expect from Newsmax; still, consider the source. At least a couple of the panel give him looks as though they are thinking, “How many did he have before he came on?” Or maybe, “Looks like coke to me.” He goes worse the longer he goes. At one point he says (apparently admiringly) that Elon Musk controls the media. One of the others immediately breaks in, “Controls the media?!”
But one of their panelists is Yasha Mounk, who is a political scientist with a solid reputation. He has some sensible comments in the segment on Ukraine and Trump’s “transactional” wheeler-dealer negotiating style. His comments on that are really perceptive. So are those of Anatasizy Shapochkina of the Eastern Circles Think Tank. Mounk comes off as a bit superficial on the question of social media regulation.
