Thinking about the Trump Presidency

After Brexit, the United States of America have experienced their own populist revolution with the election of Donald J Trump as their 45th President. How will President Trump govern? How will he shape the presidency? What will be his relationship with the Republican Congress? What does the future hold for the Democratic Party? This public lecture will explore these questions and many others as we enter an uncharted territory of American history.
