What has Donald Trump done with America, and what will persist if he loses?

“PROMISES MADE, promises kept” is one of President Trump’s campaign slogans. His main achievements on tax, deregulation, or appointing new judges would be hallmarks of any Republican administration. How has Donald Trump changed the country in ways no other president would have? What will linger even if he loses?

Adam Roberts, The Economist’s Midwest correspondent, looks at the president’s record on immigration. Trade and globalisation editor Soumaya Keynes tells us how effective Trump’s trade policy has been. And healthcare correspondent Slavea Chankova assesses his response to covid-19.

John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, hosts with New York bureau chief Charlotte Howard, and Jon Fasman, Washington correspondent. Runtime: 42 min
