Donald Trump promised to "Make America Great Again," and yet disarray and decline abound. Award-winning author and New York Times columnist Tom Friedman joins Professor Larry Jacobs to discuss this and other issues.

Donald Trump promised to "Make America Great Again," and yet disarray and decline abound. Over the past six months, the President failed to slow the coronavirus as our allies have done and the economic decline set a record. Still more profoundly, the President and his political allies have undercut the sources of American prosperity and global influence—our cutting-edge education and scientific infrastructure—along with our success in cultivating a level of social harmony in a diverse country that has eluded our European allies. President Trump's Middle East agreement is historic, but received little public acclaim because of the chaos and division that he fueled.
