Donald Trump, the former US president appearing on CNN for the first time since that fateful election year, lied and lied and lied. He refused to say whether he wants Russia or Ukraine to win the war. The CNN political commentator Van Jones likened Collins to a white-suited matador against Trump’s bull in familiar blue suit, white shirt and red tie. It was less town hall than a debate, Trump versus Collins, lies versus truth. When the ordeal was over, the ghosts of 2016 were everywhere and the grim expressions in the CNN studio said it all.
