It was a speech full of self-praise that – US President Donald Trump – delivered before the UN General Assembly. His assertion that Ukraine could reclaim occupied territories has raised eyebrows around the world – and hopes – in Kyiv. So, is Trump really distancing himself further from Moscow? Or is this just another chapter in his unpredictable policy book? Trump is making it clear – not just at the UN, but across the board that it’s only his worldview that matters. At home, he continues to reshape the United States to his own vision. After the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, the President is cracking down harder on his critics. The press – both domestic and international—is facing massive hostility. Critics warn that the U.S. may have already crossed the threshold into authoritarianism. So, today, on To The Point, we ask: Trump the Unpredictable: What’s His Real Plan for Ukraine and for Democracy?
