– Old-style politics is a thing of the past, what counts today is emotions. If Donald Trump were a classic politician, his career would have ended in 2015. He had already made so many controversial statements that, according to all rules of politics, he should never return to it. And it comes back because Trump is a brand, a kind of brand. For Americans, he may be a bit crazy, but people have become attached to him and his antics are not taken seriously. Americans think: he is like that, he can do more, says Dr. Maciej Turek, American studies and political scientist from the Department of American Studies at the Jagiellonian University.
- Donald Trump wins the race for US president. According to experts, the Democratic camp will have a lot to think about in the near future.
- Some survey results are surprising. For example, the one that shows Kamala Harris has lost support among non-white people, including Latino men. Why?
- Dr. Maciej Turek: “Trump is not only a brand, but also the leader of a political movement. And it is very difficult to conduct an election campaign against the leaders of the movement, because they rise above current politics. They play not so much on the field of politics, but on the field of history.”
