M.Roubini nous met en garde il a raison de le faire parce que j’ai le sentiment comme il l’écrit dans sa dernière phrase que «le règne de l’empereur Trump pourrait ne plus être loin.» Cette phrase m’a fait sursauter, me remémorant le texte d’Antonin Artaud (1896-1948), Heliogabale ou l’anarchiste couronné ( Imaginaire-Gallimard, N☃6) qui raconte l’histoire de l’empereur Antonin Heliogabale (218-222 ) et dont Elius Lampridius dira, «Jamais je n’aurais pu me décider à écrire la vie d’Héliogabale, qui fut aussi appelé Varius, et à faire connaître au monde que les Romains ont eu pour prince un pareil monstre, si déjà avant lui ce même empire n’avait eu les Caligula, les Néron et les Vitellius. And the Republican tax-reform plan that he has endorsed would overwhelmingly favor multinational corporations and the top 1% of households, many of which stand to benefit especially from the repeal of the estate tax. His deregulatory policies are blatantly biased against workers and unions. Trump and the Republicans’ plan to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) would have left 24 million Americans – mostly poor or middle class, many of whom voted for him – without health care. Yet he has stacked his administration with billionaires (not just millionaires) and Goldman Sachs alumni, while letting the swamp of business lobbyists rise higher than ever. Trump also ran as someone who would “drain the swamp” in Washington, DC, and on Wall Street. Trump rejected the Republican Party’s traditional pro-business, pro-trade agenda, and, like Bernie Sanders on the left, appealed to Americans who have been harmed by disruptive technologies and “globalist” policies promoting free trade and migration.īut while Trump ran as a populist, he has governed as a plutocrat, most recently by endorsing the discredited supply-side theory of taxation that most Republicans still cling to. NEW YORK – Donald Trump won the US presidency with the backing of working-class and socially conservative white voters on a populist platform of economic nationalism.
