As of this writing, the billionaire was also ahead in the popular vote. The Republicans also took control of the Senate in addition to retaining the House of Representatives.
The spectacle offered by Donald Trump – I call it a spectacle and not a political program – has won over enough, at least half of America, to return him to power. We must also question the way of doing politics and the scope of the messages expressed by populist politicians like Donald Trump. His success will encourage others, I fear, that this is the path to success […] It is clear that Trump’s recipe worked with a quieter electorate who bought into this way of doing politics and this political discourse.

What to expect from this second term of the populist politician?
Just about every observer predicts that this is going to be a revanchist, revanchist presidency, and probably dangerous for American democracy..
