This book considers the reasons for Donald Trump's surprise victory
in the 2016 presidential election. It charts the prolonged campaign
and the realigning processes that took place, analysing the ideas
that defined the Trump platform, the electoral shifts in states
regarded as solid 'firewalls' for the Democratic Party and the
responses of Republican Party elites. Although he is subject to
contradictory pressures, the book places Trump firmly within the
right-wing populist tradition. However, it argues that the
sentiments that drove his campaign were not only a response to
economic fears, high levels of inequality and racial resentment -
they were also shaped by the structural character of American
governance, which fuels hostility towards Washington DC and the
'political class'. The book concludes by assessing the extent to
which Trump's victory and parallel developments in Europe mark a
reconfiguration of neoliberalism. -- .
