Donald Trump Changes the Nature and Language of US Politics
Donald Trump's call for the US to bar entry to Muslims dragged Republicans to the right.
Donald Trump says things that other people may think, but are reluctant to say out loud. This week, he said the US should not allow entry to Muslims. With these statements, he is changing both the language used in US politics, and politics itself. But does this make him any more likely to become president?
Also, Venezuelans say 'No' to the party of the man so many idolised for nearly two decades; why countries are now less reluctant to take action against climate change; and why the middle classes are on the decline.
