Will the Supreme Court take away Trump’s powers? In this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie answer whether the courts might move to limit Trump’s authority, from his use of tariffs to the growing militarisation of America’s streets. They also tackle big questions about the future of American politics: Could the US ever embrace socialism? And do many Americans blur the line between socialism and communism? Plus: does moving to the centre win elections, or just alienate voters?
