After one year of Donald Trump’s second term as president, where does the United States stand? This talk examines
- the division and polarization of American politics and society that paved the way for Trump’s election victories in 2016 and 2024
- domestic politics under the Trump administration, including the transformation of the federal government and the crackdown on (not only illegal) immigration
- foreign policy in Trump’s second term including the outright rejection of the liberal, rules-based international order that the US built after World War 2 and the decline of the transatlantic alliance
As usual, satirical cartoons and videos will provide comic relief on these often dark and serious issues.
