Trump's reductive worldview

Robert Reich
FILE - In this April 25, 1945, file photo, U.S. President Harry S. Truman, talks in front of microphones, over which he broadcasts a message opening the conference of 46 United Nations in San Francisco, telling the delegates "you are to be architects of a better world. In your hands rests our future," in the White House in Washington, D.C. Seventy years ago leaders of 50 war-weary countries gathered in San Francisco to create an international order that would save future generations “from the scourge of war.” With that, the United Nations was created.
