Trump, Clinton, and the rebirth of brand USA
from Didn't See It Coming with Marc Stoiber · host Marc Stoiber
To the world, the US has always been more than a country - it represented an idea of dreams pursued and happiness attained. Now, with the impending US election, that concept has taken a body blow. Has the US fallen? Or is this merely a rebirth by fire? If it is indeed a rebirth, what will the new brand USA become? To shed some light on the psychological implications of the election, the candidates, and the zeitgeist, I invited my old friend and collaborator John Marshall Roberts for a discussion on the issues beneath the surface. What we unearthed was both disturbing and - for the long run - reassuring. Enjoy the conversation!
