- What kind of man is he? What do we know about him persoanlly?
- What does he believe and want to happen? What is his vision for the future?
- How did this man come into power? What position did he have?

IMPORTANT: We discussed Trump as a class and then watched a video on Peter the Great. However, the video we watched on Peter the Great is blocked on copyright grounds and will not allow me to upload.
