America at a Crossroads: Trump, Power, and the Future of U.S. Democracy

The David McWilliams Podcast - Ein Podcast von David McWilliams & John Davis

As the U.S. election looms, we take a hard look at how this pivotal moment could reshape the country. With Donald Trump pulling ahead in key swing states while working at McDonalds, the stakes are higher than ever. Joined again by Tom Frank, we dive into the potential consequences of a Trump victory—authoritarianism, economic upheaval, and the erosion of America's institutions. How could Trump’s policies and the cult of personality around him impact the U.S. economy and democracy? Will the billionaire-backed push for tariffs and mass deportations lead to a recession? As America edges toward a defining moment, we explore the unsettling parallels with other failed states and ask: Can U.S. institutions withstand another Trump presidency?
