- Abstract
The approaching the American Presidential Election in 2020 has attracted attention and discussion about Trump and Trump-style populism, which has been spreading in the U.S. since 2016. This paper focuses on the quantitative analysis of specific indicators to evaluate the effects of Trump-style populism and finds that the theoretically beneficial groups have not benefited from the Trump-style populism governance. Compared with traditional literature on populism, this paper increases the analysis and comparison of the actual effect of Trump-style populism in the term and extended analyzes of the patriarchism dimension, which can deepen the understanding and research on the characteristics of Trump-style populism. Moreover, this paper also has some enlightenment to the prediction of the 2020 American Presidential Election. Because President Trump’s victory in 2016 included the support of many working-class whites and the men, it is not certain that after four years of Trump-style populism governance, whether the white class will still support him in the election or not.
