Where to Watch FRONTLINE's Documentary on Trump's Inner Circle & His Waging of War

President Trump repeatedly vowed 'no new wars' as he ran for a second term. A FRONTLINE documentary examines how he assembled a team of loyalists, and together they pursued a much different course.

When Donald Trump campaigned for his second term, he made a repeated promise: no new wars.
