Normal Is Over
Europeans hope that the Trump era is an anomaly. But the transatlantic divide has never been so stark
Brookings Institution, 2018
Sobre o que é?
The presidency of Donald Trump will change Europe and the transatlantic alliance in profound ways.
Recommendation
In terms of both personal style and political rhetoric, Donald Trump is unlike any other modern US president. But is “Trumpism” just an aberration, or is it a new paradigm that will reshape Europe and the transatlantic alliance for years to come? Constanze Stelzenmüller, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, takes the latter view. She warns that Europeans’ fixation on Trump himself ignores key implications of the ideological sentiments he expresses – a zeitgeist that is not uniquely American yet challenges the very foundations of the Western world.
