Trump administration ‘hoping to essentially do away with the rule of law and democracy in the US’

Oliver Farry welcomes Pierre Gervais, Professor of American Civilisation at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. He describes the attacks on Iran beyond the prism of geopolitics: a veritable constitutional crisis made in America. He sees the unfolding war with Iran in the cadre of democratic resilience over military strategy. The short term will not be kind to Donald Trump as most Americans reject the war: Trump’s MAGA supporters are broadly isolationist and the decisive issue for voters is economic precarity, not foreign policy.
