In this video, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald analyzes the appeal of Donald Trump as a figure in American politics. Greenwald argues that Trump’s popularity stems from widespread disillusionment with establishment institutions, which many Americans see as corrupt, elitist, and out of touch. He critiques the media and political elites for failing to self-reflect on why they are so distrusted and instead resorting to condescending attitudes toward Trump’s supporters.

This video was produced by System Update and published on their YouTube channel on the 7th of November, 2024.
