One week before Donald Trump’s inauguration for a second term in the White House, the director of the Faculty of Human Sciences at the Catholic University, Nelson Ribeiro, highlights the “chameleon-like” character of the President-elect of the United States. In this return, Trump has a strong ally in Elon Musk. “I don’t know if that relationship will last long or not, but, immediately, there seems to be a great harmony there”, he says.
In a prospective interview about the new year, the Media and Propaganda specialist also talks about historical rhymes with dark times, disinformation networks set up in a “very professional” way and the crumbling quality of public debate.
The new year begins with the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States, in a week. There are those who argue that it is more moderate, others say that it has become even more radical. What differences can you anticipate for a second Trump term compared to his first?
I don’t see any big differences. Within a certain pattern, there is always a kind of chameleon there. Your position on certain issues changes depending on events and above all depending on what you consider will bring the most votes at a given moment.
