America First
Donald Trump in the White House
A Résumé
Lies, chaos, abuse of power - America in the age of Donald Trump
Donald Trump brings together a remarkable bundle of "firsts" in his term of office. He is the first President of the USA who has never held a political or military position before. He is the oldest president ever elected and the first billionaire in the White House. He has fired more ministers and advisors than any of his predecessors. And he is the first president to seek a second term after having survived an impeachment trial.
But what is the policy of the man who violates every established rule of politics and is still supported enthousiastically? Is there a - visible or invisible - agenda, or is it all mere power opportunism? Are there clearly definable successes or failures? What are the contours of Trump's domestic and foreign policy, economic policy and security policy? What about the Russia-Connection, the relationship with Europe or the Middle East? Stephan Bierling, one of Germany's most respected experts on the USA, presents a first assessment of the Trump era showing us how even the oldest liberal state system in the world may soon reach its limits.
