Why does America not care about Donald Tump's conduct?
About this episode
Donald Trump would have been convicted of crimes over his failed attempt to cling to power in 2020, if not for his victory in last year’s US presidential election, according to the special counsel who investigated him. James speaks to a professor of American Politics and his LBC listeners to try and work out why so many people simply don’t care about political conduct that used to be unforgivable.
He also tackles the recent polling that has found that one in five Britons aged 18-45 would prefer to be governed by unelected leaders, instead of democratically elected ones. Why do so many young people in particular feel this way?
