The President strikes back

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

Guests: Richard Warnica and Alex Ballingall On Monday, we saw the result of an unprecedented political comeback as Donald Trump was officially sworn in as President of the United States – again. His second run comes four years after being voted out of office, and being impeached for attempting to overturn that result. Senior Opinion writer Richard Warnica and Deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief Alex Ballingall attend the inauguration and chat about what they saw: the major difference between the 2017 event and this one; what it signals that Trump expressed his return to power as similar to a prophet's work; the pardons & proclamations he made on day one; and why Elon's 'Nazi salute' should be of no surprise. PLUS: What's the single most important thing progressives in both the USA & Canada can do right now?
