In twelve months’ time America will inaugurate a new President. It
could be a man who says he’ll act as a “dictator on day one,” who
rejects elections if he doesn’t win them, and whose America First
ideas could shatter what remains of the global order. With a year
to go, UCL Associate Professor in Global Politics Brian Klaas tells
Gavin Esler how Donald Trump has damaged American politics more
deeply than anyone realises – how driving Trump off mainstream
social media to Truth Social only hid his increasingly fascistic
outbursts from public view – and what it will take to stop
him. • “Trump 2.0 would be way more dangerous than Trump 1.0.”
• “It is highly likely that if Trump loses there will be
significant political violence – probably worse than Jan 6.”
• “Once you don’t have a shared sense of reality, democracy
falls apart.” • “Come November, nobody will be able to say
they didn’t know what was going on. He’s been completely open about
it.” Buy Brian Klaas’s book Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why
