Summary

In the Financial Times our own Ed Luce discusses how Trump's attacks on the truth and his enemies have moved us toward fascism and where he has fallen short of achieving key steps on the road toward that brand of authoritarianism. Our panel including Ed, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown, Kori Schake of IISS and Joe Cirincione of the Plowshares fund discuss whether we may go next and what recent developments--from the Khashoggi case to Trump on the stump--reveal about the trends.
