ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Why was Donald Trump elected as president of the United States? His win tells a lot about the most powerful country in the world and its people, but it also says a lot about us as a society.
Now, in the face of xenophobia, misogyny, nationalism, populism, and other menaces specific to that regime, what are the biggest threats to the region?
With the best style reminiscent of political pamphlets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Jorge Volpi raises his voice against Trump, his ideas and his actions.
Volpi also proposes that readers should have a clear and rational understanding of Trump’s dangerous way of thinking and policies, and how to resist the worst hurdles of his administration.
