"In other words, we were constantly told that Trump was too offensive,
ignorant and dangerous to be chosen to lead the US. But this political
interpretation tended to miss how American popular culture had created
the conditions for a character like Trump to upend the mannered and
formulaic presidential selection process.
In many ways, the Trump campaign was politics catching up with popular
culture."
