A Study Of American Populism During The Trump Era

Populism,as a social trend of thought,is the product of history and has caused many political movements in Europe and America.In recent years,with the right-wing doctrine gradually occupying the dominant position in the global pattern,populism under its influence has once again entered the public's attention,especially Donald Trump's successful election as the45 th president of the United States,which has set off a new round of populist development wave.Trump's campaign success is known as "the victory of Populism",and many of his policies are also full of populism.At the same time,the United States,as one of the birthplaces of populism,has a long history.In the later development process,there are many populist activities,which are of great significance for the study of populism.The content of this paper is the development of American populism in Trump's period,and the research focus is on the right-wing populism.Theoretically speaking,populism is regarded as an ideology,which has great controversy,but the lack of definition does not hinder its spread in the world.The development of populism in the United States has mainly experienced three periods,from the historical phenomenon in the first stage to the social movement in the second stage,to the social reality in the third stage,all of which show the characteristics of populism in the United States.The populism in the trump period is called the continuation of the third stage,showing a momentum of development in full swing.At present,the populism wave in the United States has a very complex background.Influenced by the transformation of political and economic pattern in the new era,the economic contradictions are gradually deepened,the political ecology is deteriorating,the conflicts between social identity and psychological structure are rampant,and the nativism and racial discrimination are increasingly prominent.In this case,American populism has a deep soil,He made his mark in the 2016 US presidential campaign.At present,populism in the United States is also different from other countries,such as a wider range of objects,more extreme value orientation,more advanced means of propaganda and so on.At the same time,the influence of populism on both domestic and foreign aspects of the United States can not be ignored.Influenced by populism,the mainstream political cognition in the United States began to develop in the direction of paranoia,and the political polarization continued to intensify.At the same time,the normal development of economic and financial order was limited,which is not conducive to the long-term stability of American society.The implementation of trade protectionism on the international side not only affects the normal development of the domestic economy,but also frustrates the normal trade activities of many countries,and the healthy development of the international financial market.The problems of race and immigration in the society will not be solved,but will be more serious,which will constantly intensify the contradictions between the local people and the immigrants.Populism is closely related in the world.Influenced by American populism,the populism of other countries in the world is bound to usher in an opportunity for development in the future.Therefore,the influence of American populism is multifaceted,so we must strengthen research.The future prospects of populism in the United States are complex and will be driven and limited by two factors.Influenced by nativism,anti establishment and class antagonism,populism will exist for a long time in the United States.However,because of its periodicity,it will go through the inherent stages of emergence,outbreak,climax and decline.In addition,the proposition is not systematic and perfect,the mass foundation is not solid,and the development of populism will be blocked.Therefore,the development of the United States in a certain period in the future In a sense,the direction depends on the dominant force of American populism in trump era.
