A president against his own people? Following protests against immigration enforcement measures, US President Donald Trump is sending troops into the streets of Los Angeles. The troops are supposed to take action against the demonstrators there – against the express wishes of LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

In this episode of "The Trump Effect," Katrin Eigendorf, Elmar Theveßen, and Ulf Röller ask how far Trump is really going – and whether this threatens the end of democracy in the US and civil war.

The hosts draw comparisons with historical and international examples – and analyze the impact this strategy has on American society, Europe's role, and the global security situation.
What goals is Trump pursuing with this escalation? What does it mean when state institutions begin to subvert democratic rules? And who could lead the democratic resistance now?
"The Trump Effect" – a podcast for everyone who wants to understand why the world hasn't been the same since Trump – and what might come next.
