Trump: Back by Popular Demand?
A.C. Hunter Library,
Wednesday March 18
6:30pm (6pm in Labrador)
Virtual via WebEx
What in The World is a new current affairs discussion program.
This time we are talking about Trump.
Join Dr. Scott Matthews online (via WebEx) .We will be discussing how Americans have never been so polarized in their views of the president, leading many to conclude that the quality of the president’s performance in office no longer matters. But is that really true? This talk will discuss the response of the U.S. public to the highs and lows of President Trump’s second term. We’ll also look ahead to the 2026 congressional elections, which will largely determine the fate of the president’s last 2 years in office.
