5

Today’s installment of our short video series “Media Misses” looks at a Politico opinion piece in which Turkish journalist Asli Aydintasbas assures us that Trump couldn’t become a dictator in just four years. Excuse us for not being assured, and for thinking it’s a mistake to downplay the threat.
