Cultural Misunderstandings and Political Dynamics

This chapter examines the perception of American culture in Europe, particularly through culinary experiences and how they reflect broader cultural disconnects. It also explores the political landscape during Donald Trump's presidency, addressing themes of populism, executive power, and the implications of misusing the concept of 'mandate' in governance. The discussion highlights the influence of media on international views of America and the nuances of authoritarianism in contemporary politics.
