Zusammenfassung

Republican Donald Trump was elected 45th President of the United States on November 8, 2016 after a campaign run on domestic issues, a lot of “post-truth” populism and fearmongering about social and economic decline . The shift from Barack Obama to Donald Trump amounts to a serious break in White House politics and policies . Trump was supported primarily by people who feel that things in the U .S . are generally on the wrong track, who hold pessimistic outlooks on the future and who complain about their diminishing financial resources . Fuelled by massive discontent over the Obama Administration, Trump was considered as person who would “bring needed change” to “make America great again” . Trump’s opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, was not convincing as a person and issues covered by her also failed . As a typical representative of the Beltway machine, Clinton amounted to the perfect symbol of a failing political class . Campaigning aggressively, Trump served, enhanced and absorbed the existing discontent about established politics and maximized his reach in an already polarized and ideologically radicalized country . Clinton outpaced Trump by almost three million popular votes, but after Republican pickups in six swing states, Trump gained a majority of electoral votes and finally the Electoral College .
