Earlier
today Donald Trump arrived in Hamburg, Germany, for a Group of 20 summit
meeting with leaders of other major economies, the summit follows a speech
Trump gave in Warsaw, Poland and his trip to Europe is expected to culminate
with a meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Joining me today to talk about Trump’s trip
to Europe at a time when tensions on the Korean peninsula are escalating is Steve Clemons who is Washington editor
at large for The Atlantic.
In the wake of Trump’s
victory in the Electoral College, many pundits claimed that his success was the
result of his appeal to working-class whites who supposedly flocked to him due
to job worries and concerns about free trade; however according to the results
the Voter Study Group, a comprehensive survey aimed at understanding the forces
behind the 2016 Election that included academics but also right-wing groups
like The Heritage Foundation and progressives from the Center for American
Progress, the real reason they did so in enough numbers for Trump to win wasn’t
anxiety about the economy… it was anxiety about Mexicans, Muslims and
blacks. Joining me today to talk all
about the results of the Voter Study Group and how he was able to predict the
outcome of the election long before anyone else is Professor of Political
Science at the University of Washington Christopher Sebastian Parker, who correctly foresaw in September 2015 that Trump would
win the GOP nomination and told anyone who would listen last September, that
Trump could well win the presidency.
