Deep Read: "The resistance against Trumpism has begun"
If Trump loses the midterm elections, he could cause great damage, warns political scientist Francis Fukuyama – and fears foreign policy adventures by the president. Can America's democracy still be saved?
Francis Fukuyama's reputation soared at a young age when he boldly predicted the "End of History" and the eventual triumph of democracy following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now 73 years old and a professor at the prestigious Stanford University, the esteemed scholar has been humbled by the resurgence of authoritarian regimes under US President Donald Trump.
The autocratic governments in China and Russia are gaining influence, all while the Western leadership power deems democratic values as negotiable, if not obsolete.
Fukuyama has published a biographical work defending his theory, and in an interview with the Handelsblatt, he elaborates on the reasons why Trump represents the "greatest threat to democracy" and why the drive for freedom will ultimately prevail, including in the United States.
