Trumpocalypse now! - the triumph of the conspiracy spectacle

The 2016 election win of Donald Trump has ignited global political dialogue. Behind the scenes, however, a deeper dynamic is now in play: conspiracy theory has moved from the fringe onto America's centre stage. This book examines Trump's history of creating alternative realities with “alternative facts” and the authentic conspiratorial points of view from which they arise. Thomas examines Trump's career as a conspiracy theory celebrity, his birtherism, Islamofascism and Clinton conspiracies, as well as the JFK assassination. He, also, examines the cyber-hacking of the DNC, Russian involvement and voter fraud.
