Trump, the know-nothing victor, by Serge Halimi (Le Monde diplomatique - English edition, December 2016)
Over a year after Trump's election, many pundits and intellectuals
are still trying to understand how the real estate mogul rose to the
White House.
'The right, and not
just in the US, has managed to turn anti-elitism into
anti-intellectualism, to make people resent the smugness of ‘cultural
elites’' explains Serge Halimi.
