Trumpocalypse Now?
Why the Republican Party is Setting Washington on Fire
On November 5, ex-reality star Donald J. Trump could become President of the United States of America for the second time - and could drag not only American but also European democracy into the abyss. Trump's political style is characterized by populism and nationalism, polarization and verbal gaffes. Like no other, Trump stands for the transformation of the Republican Party: away from the actual values of the Grand Old Party, which originally campaigned for the abolition of slavery in the USA. But why are the representatives of the Republican Party even willing to run for a second time with a candidate whose last term in office ended with an unprecedented storming of the US Capitol? America expert Annika Brockschmidt and journalist Richard Gutjahr get to the bottom of the Trump phenomenon and share their fears about the outcome of the election two weeks later.
