Mehdi Hassan

Donald Trump's going to be president during America's first World Cup since 1994.

And Donald Trump's going to be president during the Olympics.

I mean, luckiest man in the world.

We're unlucky.

He's super lucky.

I mean, he just turns up and gets these lands in his lap for him to perform.

Imagine how embarrassing he's going to be at the World Cup final.

Coming up, what will America look like by its next birthday?

Mehdi, you have been living in the US since 2015, if I'm correct, which is, of course, two Trump presidencies.

Lucky me.

Lucky you indeed.

How much does it feel like the country, democracy even, how much does it feel it's changed in that time?

And what worries you now that didn't when you first moved?

Oh, so much.

So much worries me and so much has changed.

I arrived in the last year of the Obama administration.

Ironically, in Barack Obama's last year in office, he actually did some very powerful things on the foreign policy stage.

I was a critic of much of his foreign policy, especially his drone strikes.

But in his last year in office, he did the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal.

He did the lifting of some of the blockade on Cuba and they're trying to have some kind of rapprochement with Cuba.
