‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR MAY 30, 2025: No to NATO in Dayton, Ohio… Trump As the Anti-Peace President… Five Years Since George Floyd’s Murder… And Much More

58 minutes

Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric of being a peace president is fading fast, as Russia, West Asia and China remain in the crosshairs. We speak to historian Gerald Horne. And then we go to Dayton Ohio, where hundreds of people participated in actions to counter the North Atlantic Treaty Organization/ NATO military alliance meeting there. Plus headlines on five years since George Floyd’s murder, Elon Musk’s exit from Washington, and much more.
