In Part 1, he responds to Trump's support of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the U.S.'s capitulation to Israeli aggression in the Middle East and the rise in right-wing authoritarianism around the world. Ali says Donald Trump is "the most right-wing president in recent years" and exposes "in public what his predecessors used to say in private."
