Casa América, together with the Instituto Franklin-UAH and the Fundación Consejo España-EE.UU., will present on Tuesday 20th April at 12 noon a round table discussion on The Future of Trumpism, on the occasion of the presentation of the magazine Tribuna Norteamericana ‘The End of the Trump Administration’.
The outcome of the last presidential elections in the USA, with a high turnout and a close result, demonstrated the growing polarisation of American society and the emergence of radical groups related to “Trumpism”. The then President Trump challenged the election result, refusing to accept defeat and encouraging his supporters to mobilise against the system. The consequence was seen weeks later with the assault on the US Congress and subsequently, with a new attempt to invalidate Trump by subjecting him to the process of a second impeachment. With the failed outcome, Trump does not rule out the possibility of running again in the next presidential election in 2024. He could have a good chance in a divided Republican party without clear leaders, and an increasingly polarised society. Fernando Vallespín, professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid; Cristina Manzano, director of Esglobal, and Pedro Rodríguez, professor at the University of Comillas, will participate in the event. It will be moderated by Cristina Crespo, general coordinator of the Instituto Franklin-UAH. No audience in person, only on Casa América’s Twitter and YouTube channels.
