A conversation with writer and journalist Federico Rampini, US Bureau Chief for La Repubblica, one of the largest national newspapers in Italy. Rampini had “foreseen Trump”, analyzing the deep causes of his victory in his book, The Betrayal. Globalization and Immigration: How the Elites Lied. With the Brexit poll, and the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Paris, Nice, Berlin, Europe is going through a similar malaise. What promises were made and betrayed by the establishment, forcing public opinions to look for new answers? What will be the impact of the Trump presidency on Europe?
