Is Trumpism changing the game in US politics? | The Bottom Line

President-elect Donald Trump defeated the Democrats roundly with his argument that the United States needed a major shakeup. This election will go down in history as a “realigning election,” argues historian Geoff Kabaservice, director of policy studies at the Niskanen Center in Washington, DC.

Kabaservice tells host Steve Clemons that Americans are turning their back on “the establishment” from top to bottom: the media, bureaucracy, elite universities and celebrity culture. So does this mean the end of the “Washington consensus,” where both parties agreed on almost everything: trade, alliances, immigration, etc? Will Trumpism define the US for years to come?

It doesn't actually make any difference whether the President is Republican or Democrat. The genius of the American ruling class is that it has been able to make the people think that they have had something to do with the electing of presidents for 200 years when they've had absolutely nothing to say about the candidates or the policies or the way the country is run.-Gore Vidal

US is blaming others for its own self inflicted problems. Punishing others for its own mistakes. So very American. So much for a great nation.

Inflation was a worldwide effect due to the COVID lockdowns, but Biden could have buffered its effect for the USA. However, he and much of the Democrat elites didn't see the impact on rent and food prices as being noticeable. They were disconnected from the regular people and Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act" gave huge discounts to people who could afford EVs while increasing the inflationary pressures on regular people.

Super interesting, compared to the news channels coming out of the US! Thank you from New Zealand.

No we have always been racist and reactionary.

Whats funny is he will not do anything for the working class. Raising tariffs on consumer goods and cutting social services while lowering taxes for the wealthiest amongst us will do the opposite of bring them prosperity.

Trump did just defeat librals in US but all over the world.

Dude, all your questions about Trump comes from a negative point of view, and the person you chose to interview hates Trump with passion which is the reason this particular segment did not inspire any new imformation apart from the old story, Trump bad, his voters bad etc. With this atitude, you guys will continue to lose touch of the common man and most importantly, this era of trumpism.

That thing, that explodes every democracy. If not any state.

Geoff is the smartest and most good willed Republican I've ever heard! HE would be a good president. I'm of the old "left" persuasion (not a democrat...any more), but I wouldn't hate it if he was running things.

Aljazeera still repeating the same fake talking points

[woodswoman]

He, not We, perpetuates infighting, hatred, violence, fueled by ego, gluttony, and the adrenaline of power and attention He loves. Father Time will tell us how well this is going to work, or not work.

[redalert]

The USA has accumulated an enormous backlog of negative karma and it has advertised the fact that it has no respect for the lessons of history. It will be surprising if the nation still exists come 2026. At the very least, the coming year will be a bigger ordeal for Americans than the pandemic.

AL Jazeera should ask what Eisenhover did to illegals. Dissappinted with Al Jazeera

I disagree Biden is a moderate. He did a good job not perfect but he had massive challenges. He beat him before and he would have won again. The democrats panicked and they should have stood behind him, and the media’s nonstop attack of him, he’s definitely not in cognitive decline he knows what he’s doing. He’s just older and has a problem in his back, so he walks bad. So what! Now we have to live thru 4 years if he leaves in 4 years of bullying men showing more misogynistic behaviors against us if that’s possible than ever before. Biden would have won the 3 states he was born in Pennsylvania hello. I think Harris would have done a great job.

Get better guest because this dude doesn't understand anything
