Lund investigators: “Trump couldn’t back down”
Trump’s populist story is about people who rebel against the elite. Therefore, he had to cheer when the “people” broke into the residence of the elite.
That’s what Patrik Fridlund, who investigates populism and Trump’s speech, says.
Philosopher of religion Patrik Fridlund is an associate professor of religious and philosophical science at Lund University, lectures on populism, and has just received a grant to investigate who Donald Trump really turns to when speaking to world leaders.
For Donald Trump supporters, it doesn’t matter if he’s lying, says Patrik Fridlund. The important thing is that he is the leader of the people who rebelled against the elites. That’s what populism is all about, and that’s why Donald Trump in practice had to cheer when his supporters stormed Congress, he says.
