Mehdi Hasan: Why another Trump presidency will make the Middle East even worse | The InnerView

With days to go until the US election, journalist and prominent media figure Mehdi Hasan has been passionately making the case against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He says while the Democrats under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have much bloodshed to answer for in the disaster that has unfolded in the Middle East over the past year, a Trump win over Harris will be even more calamitous, with broader global ramifications. But if he believes there’s an ongoing genocide enabled by the Democrats, how does it get any worse? Hasan joins Imran Garda to discuss Israel’s war in Gaza, Ukraine, the flaws of the two-party system and whether labelling Trump a “fascist” makes a difference to his supporters amid an ongoing culture war within the superpower. 00:00 What's at stake in the 2024 US election? 00:47 Meet Mehdi Hasan 01:51 What could happen if Trump wins 03:18 Mehdi’s biggest fears and concerns 04:08 Miriam Adelson 04:42 On Muslims voting for Bush and the aftermath 05:09 “Things can always get worse” 05:48 Jared Kushner 06:19 Mohammed El-Kurd vs. Mehdi Hasan 07:33 The Biden administration’s legacy in the Gaza war 08:10 Kamala Harris 08:27 The two-party system 08:56 Who would be better for Palestine: Harris or Trump? 10:16 “Dump” electoral system and battleground states 12:13 What a Trump win means for Ukraine and Palestine 15:59 Is Donald Trump a fascist and dictator? 20:08 America’s culture wars and Trump’s McDonald moment 23:10 Media organizations, journalistic values, and Mehdi’s new project Zeteo Subscribe: http://trt.world/subscribe Livestream: http://trt.world/ytlive Facebook: http://trt.world/facebook Twitter: http://trt.world/twitter Instagram: http://trt.world/instagram Visit our website: http://trt.world
