      1. Trump has been around long enough that he shouldn't be treated not as a freak or an accident but worthy of theory.

      2. Of course, there are already theories of Trump but they tend to be narrowly political (he'a populist or authoritarian, etc.)

      3. The real question is: what sort of society elects a Trump (or, a Berlusconi or a Rob Ford)? What causes that to happen?

      4. For me, the best theorists who can explain the world we live in are the analysts of postmodernism, supremely Fredric Jameson.

      5. Here I bring to bear Baudrillard, Perry Anderson, Fredric Jameson etc. on Trumpism:https://newrepublic.com/article/143730/americas-first-postmodern-president …

          Not to be too snooty, but did you ever just consider @realDonaldTrump as nothing more than a conman conning the rubes?

          imo snooty is overlooking that obviously true interpretation to make some esoteric point about epistemology.

          You nailed it. At the heart of all this is an epistemological crisis.

          Brilliant! For Trump, no AI, no CRISPR, no climate change. Can't make out he lives in 21st century. Future collapses into timeless present.

          Late capitalism has laboured and brought forth a ridiculous (but dangerous) mouse. Good article.

          Have to agree about possible despair. Went back to Baudrillard and Debord post Nov 8. Compelling diagnoses, but no prescription for recovery
