FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Professor Dr. Molefi Kete Asante sends a foreboding warning on Donald Trump

THE AMERICAN DEMAGOGUE

 

Universal Write Publications (July, 2024)― The American Demagogue thoroughly examines Donald Trump’s presidency, uniquely blending perspectives from communication and Africology. In this edition, Molefi Kete Asante skillfully dissects Trump’s manipulation tactics, focusing on the use of fear, lies, and derogatory language while drawing insightful parallels to historical demagogues. The book goes beyond conventional critiques by exploring Trump’s impact on core American ideals, such as environmental protection, racial justice, and compassion, from a fresh and unique perspective. Asante’s nuanced analysis of Trump’s rhetoric and its implications on the democratic tradition offers readers valuable insights into the resilience of American democracy. As an election-year reflection, the book serves as a distinctive and powerful critique, urging vigilance against demagoguery and emphasizing the need to safeguard democratic principles.

 

Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, PhD, is a leading voice and the seminal theoretician of Afrocentric infusion into culture, politics, and communication. His influence in advancing the agency-centered ideological position in the realm of education and science is unparalleled. Widely read and consulted, Dr. Asante and his books have inspired educators globally and are unmatched in their rhetoric and analysis of Donald Trump.

 

“Trump brings an ominous echo of Hitlerian 1920 and 1930s rhetoric to contemporary American politics. Few want to discuss the elements of Hitlerian memes in the words of Trump, but we ignore these seeds to our later peril,” says Asante. “If Trump is normalized, his rhetoric will become the easy model for other would-be demagogues who will ride the terrifying wave of blatant white nationalism parading as American exceptionalism to the corrupted shore of political chaos. We cannot be ostriches with heads in the sand; we must be attuned to the virulent elements of racism in the society.”

Copies of The American Demagogue: Donald Trump is available for purchase anywhere books are sold and at UWPBooks.com

I've said this time and time again.....
The biggest problem with Trump being in office isn't Trump himself, it's his ignorant followers.

He's a puppet just like Kamala.
They're pretty much going to push and promote the same agenda they were given.
The problem is Trump's racist poor White trash followers THINK Trump is some sort of "Messianic figure" who is going enact another more right-wing racist agenda and those followers are subject to go "off script" in their blind zealotry.
