"The delicious spectacle" of Citizen Trump

He has borrowed from the language of the left and the dispossessed. And like many demagogues before him he talks over and over of that undefinable concept: "the people". Nonetheless, he is a product of our "society of spectacle", a plutocrat who has assembled a cabinet of idiosyncratic mavericks and "outsiders". Here we listen to pro and anti Trump journalists plus dissect his inaugural speech and discuss what it will really be like for his supporters, American consumers and the rest of the world if Trump's vision of anti-global "America First" policies are really implemented. All to play for, judging by the first few days of his administration. As a musical tip we end with John Mellencamp.
