Opis

An intelligent non-partisan explanation of the reasons why Donald Trump won the election On November 8, Donald Trump shocked the world by winning the United States Presidential Election. Almost every poll had him trailing Hillary Clinton and most media thought his defeat was a foregone conclusion. However, he will become the next President of the United States with a decisive victory in the Electoral College, remarkably upsetting Clinton in most of the swing states, especially those located in the Rust Belt. While most media have focused in Trump's inflammatory rhetoric and divisive remarks, there were much deeper reasons why the country chose him as it's new leader which range from the extremely complicated situation of an entire layer of the American society to the Democratic Party blunders during the campaign, to the performance of the media themselves. All of this on an environment of class and racial tension which the United States have slowly developed in recent years. Why should I read this book? Because regardless of your political preferences, the times ahead are going to be intense, and it's better to know what really happened in the past to understand the future. Because this election was one of the most fascinating events in our recent history and describes the struggles of the countries like no other situation in our recent past. Because, if you're a Democrat, you need to understand what went wrong, for history not to repeat itself, and if you're a Republican or a Trumpist, the future will still offer many challenge. And finally, because the country needs healing, and information and understanding will always be a good first step. This book is an agile but in-depth explanation of what happened during the months before the Election and Election Day itself, and it's last chapter offers a glimpse of how a Donald Trump presidency will be in the future.
