The Grapevine: What A Second Trump Term Could Mean for Australia
When Donald Trump won the U.S Presidential election in 2016, his victory sent shockwaves through the country. Trump trashed traditional American democratic norms and cultivated a style of nativist populism that thrived on conspiracy theories and culture wars.
It also had implications for the political culture of countries around the world – including Australia.
But what would a possible Second Trump Presidential Term look like? What would the outcome be for not just democracy in America but here too?
Bruce Wolpe’s new book Trump’s Australia unpacks these questions – he joined Dylan on the Grapevine to chat through it all.
Trump’s Australia is out now through Allen & Unwin.
