Abstract

At a time when our news headlines are dominated by the US President’s latest Twitter rants, impulsive political decisions, and blustering denunciations of foes and former allies alike, this chapter tries to make sense of the emotional politics of Donald Trump. It suggests that Trump has ushered in an emotional regime of anger, driven by “public displays of disaffection.” Trump’s presidency has rendered anger a salient framework for understanding public life, with significant consequences for politics and how we view it.
