Summary

Millions of Americans who lost their jobs in lockdown await decisions from a deadlocked Washington and the coronavirus pandemic enters a new phase in the U.S. as it infiltrates rural heartlands. With an election just three months away, what is going through the mind of President Trump? Christiane Amanpour is joined by Mary Trump, clinical psychologist and niece of the President. Then, British Vogue Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful reflects on his experience as the first man, and first Black editor, of the iconic British fashion publication. They discuss this year’s flagship September issue and how the Black Lives Matter protests are reshaping the fashion industry. And our Michel Martin speaks to award-winning author and musician James McBride about his latest novel “Deacon King Kong”, the current racial and cultural tensions, and why he remains optimistic.
