Trump's tweets: The racism is the point



Why US media finally use the word 'racist' to describe Trump. Plus, war criminals turned best-selling authors in Serbia.


Trump's tweets and the 'racist' debate

The coverage of the Trump White House is caught up over one word, "racist", and whether or not it should be used to describe the US president.
After Donald Trump told four Congresswomen of colour to "go back" to the countries they came from - even though three of them are American born - some media outlets are still stopping short of using the "R" word.
Ahead of the 2020 elections, the US is a nation of opposing political narratives, where Trump's white nativist message is facing push-back from a new progressive force on the political left.
