Key Notes
The speaker says it is very likely that if Trump had stayed for a second term after 2020, the United States would have gone to war with Iran given the direction of events.
Jiang says the difference between Trump's first and second terms is 'night and day' because the first term faced protests, hostile media, Russiagate scrutiny, and even dissent from inside his own cabinet.
